A few days after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan received a death threat, the man responsible has now apologized, claiming it was a mistake. This bizarre turn of events has unfolded just after the threat, which caused major concern for Salman and his security team.
Threatening Message Sent to Mumbai Traffic Police
On October 18, a threatening message was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police via WhatsApp, demanding Rs 5 crore from Salman Khan. The message warned that if the actor failed to pay, he would meet a fate worse than NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, who was recently murdered in a high-profile case. The sender claimed to be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has had longstanding issues with Salman.
Apology from Jharkhand-Based Sender
Recently, the same individual who sent the threat apologized via another message, explaining that the initial threat was sent by mistake. The person expressed regret and stated that they had no intention of causing harm. The police traced the location of the sender to Jharkhand and have deployed a team to apprehend the individual.
Police Investigation Continues
Despite the apology, law enforcement is taking the situation seriously. Investigators are working to confirm whether the apology is genuine or if it’s a tactic to divert attention. The police are also investigating whether the sender has any real ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been known to target Salman Khan due to a longstanding grudge.
Increased Security for Salman Khan
After the threat, Salman Khan’s security has been ramped up significantly. The actor has been provided Y+ level security, which includes armed guards around him at all times. Security around his Bandra residence and Panvel farmhouse has also been tightened. High-tech AI-powered CCTV cameras with facial recognition have been installed to monitor the area closely.
Baba Siddiqui Murder Case Connection
This threatening message followed the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, a close associate of Salman Khan. Siddiqui was shot by three assailants outside his son’s office in Bandra, Mumbai. Ten suspects have already been arrested in connection with the murder. The message sent to Salman hinted that his fate could be worse than Siddiqui’s, heightening concerns for the actor’s safety.
Salman Khan Addresses Recent Threats
In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 18, Salman briefly mentioned the challenging phase he is going through, referencing the ongoing threats and the loss of his close friend Siddiqui. He shared how it has affected him personally and his family, but despite this, he continues to fulfill his work commitments. His remarks highlighted the toll these incidents have taken on him during this period of uncertainty.
Salman Khan’s security measures remain strong as investigations proceed to ensure his safety in light of these unsettling events.
