Salman Khan Receives Death Threat Demanding Rs 5 Crore From Alleged Brother Of Lawrence Bishnoi

Mumbai's traffic control room recently received a threatening message targeting Bollywood star Salman Khan. The sender, claiming to be the brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, demanded Rs 5 crore from Salman. The message offered two options: pay the amount or apologise at a Bishnoi temple to avoid harm. This threat adds to the ongoing danger Salman faces, having already received threats from Bishnoi himself.

The roots of this animosity trace back over 20 years to an incident involving Salman Khan and alleged blackbuck poaching in Rajasthan during the filming of "Hum Saath-Saath Hain." Alongside co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, and Sonali Bendre, Salman faced accusations that led to a lengthy legal battle. Over 26 years, he was arrested, bailed, acquitted, and then convicted again. Throughout this ordeal, Salman has shared his perspective in interviews.

The tension between Salman and Lawrence Bishnoi seems linked to Bishnoi's disapproval of the blackbuck poaching case. Bishnoi has publicly expressed his animosity towards Salman through various death threats. He is reportedly angered by Salman's alleged involvement in the poaching incident. This historical grievance has now resulted in a new threat from someone claiming to be Bishnoi's brother.

The message was relayed through Mumbai's traffic control room. It starkly warned that failure to comply with demands would lead to Salman's death, highlighting the active threat posed by their gang. Despite these alarming developments, the claims made in the threatening message have not been independently verified at this time.

Both Salman and Mumbai Police have increased security around him following these threats. Earlier this year, there was a shooting incident at his residence and the recent murder of his associate Baba Siddique heightened concerns. The police were alerted to the threat through a message stating: "This is Lawrence Bishnoi's brother. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our [Bishnoi community] temple and apologise or pay Rs 5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active."

This situation highlights the dangerous intersection of celebrity and criminality that Salman Khan faces. Despite the unverified nature of this latest threat, it underscores the constant vigilance required for his safety. The ongoing risks necessitate heightened security measures for Salman's protection against entities with longstanding grievances.
