On September 18, 2024, a disturbing incident occurred when Bollywood writer and Salman’s father, Salim Khan, was threatened during his morning walk. An unknown woman, covered in a burqa, approached him on a scooter and said, “Should I send Lawrence Bishnoi?” The mention of the notorious gangster’s name, who has a history of threatening Salman Khan, created panic. However, police investigations have revealed an unexpected motive behind the threat.
The incident took place in Bandra, Mumbai, where Salim Khan resides. The woman who delivered the threat quickly fled the scene with a male accomplice on a scooter. Salim Khan, shaken by the encounter, immediately reported it to the local police. CCTV footage from the area captured the two suspects, which helped authorities in making a swift arrest.
Revelation: It Was All to Impress a Girlfriend, Not a Gangster Plot
In a surprising twist, police investigations revealed that the man involved in the incident had no connection with Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. The man was arrested, and during questioning, it was discovered that he orchestrated the entire event to impress his girlfriend, the woman in the burqa. The plan, though shocking, had no serious criminal intention behind it, according to early findings.
Police sources confirmed that the man was a petty criminal with no significant criminal history. They also managed to take the woman involved into custody for further questioning.
Lawrence Bishnoi’s Connection with Salman Khan: A History of Threats
Although this recent incident was not directly tied to Lawrence Bishnoi, Salman Khan has had multiple run-ins with the gangster’s threats over the past year. Bishnoi, who has a notorious reputation, has reportedly targeted Salman Khan for several reasons, including an alleged connection to the blackbuck poaching case. Earlier in April 2024, shots were fired outside Salman Khan’s residence, Galaxy Apartments, further escalating security concerns for the Bollywood star.
Police Investigation Still Ongoing, No Risk Taken
Even though this particular threat turned out to be a misguided attempt at impressing a girlfriend, Mumbai Police are not taking any risks. They are still probing every possible angle to ensure no links to any organized criminal activity. The security around Salman Khan has already been heightened following the threats he received earlier this year.
Police are carefully analyzing all details from the case to ensure there are no lingering threats to the Khan family. Meanwhile, both the man and woman involved in the incident remain in custody as the investigation continues.
