His condition will be worse than Baba Siddique's: Salman Khan gets fresh death threat
Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received a fresh death threat allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang which has demanded Rs. 5 crore from the actor to "end the enmity", media reports said.
The Mumbai Police have received a WhatsApp message where a warning has been given that if the money is not paid, Salman's fate will be worse than that of Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead in Mumbai last Saturday.
"Don't take this lightly. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ₹ 5 crore. If the money is not given, his condition will be worse than Baba Siddiqui's," the message has been quoted by NDTV.
The police are tracing the origin of the message.
Salman's security has been further heightened after the fresh threat.
The actor, who was a close friend of Baba Siddique, had his security escalated after the politician's murder. Salman is also not allowing anyone inside his residence now.
After Siddique's murder, one of the Bishnoi gang members shared a post on Facebook where he hinted at Siddique's close ties with Salman and links to underworld people that cost him his life.
On the night of April 14, gunfire shook Mumbai's Bandra neighbourhood when two men on motorbikes fired multiple rounds outside Salman Khan's residence.
The attackers, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, were charged with conspiracy to murder and other serious crimes.
The Navi Mumbai Police chargesheet, which names five people, indicates that the contract was given by a gang led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, reported NDTV.
Around 60 to 70 people were reportedly monitoring Salman Khan’s movements, particularly at his Bandra residence, Panvel farmhouse, and Goregaon Film City.
The chargesheet states a Rs. 25 lakh contract was issued to kill Salman Khan, who is one of the massively popular stars in India.
The chargesheet further reveals that the plan to kill the actor was devised between August 2023 and April 2024, the report said.
During the investigation, it was found that Sukkha, arrested from Panipat in Haryana, had assigned the task to designated shooter Ajay Kashyap, also known as AK, along with four other conspirators.
After conducting reconnaissance, Kashyap and his team concluded that due to Salman Khan’s tight security and the use of bulletproof vehicles, high-end weapons would be needed to carry out the attack.
