The Indian film industry, and Bollywood in particular, has been grappling with alarming threats against its prominent figures. The latest target is Salman Khan, who has received yet another threat, this time related to a song that allegedly links him to notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently in jail.
Salman Khan receives new death threats over song linking him to Lawrence Bishnoi: Report
According to NDTV, the threat was conveyed to Mumbai’s traffic control room on Thursday night, November 8, warning the songwriter of dire consequences if he did not stop associating Khan’s name with Bishnoi. The message ominously read: “The songwriter’s condition will prevent him from composing songs anymore. If Salman Khan has the courage, he should save them.
The incident is the latest in a series of threats against Khan, many of which are believed to have been orchestrated by Bishnoi and his associates. The animosity between the two stems from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case involving Khan.
In a recent development, a 32-year-old man named Bhikha Ram alias Vikram was arrested in Karnataka’s Haveli district in connection with these threats. Ram, a native of Rajasthan, admits his admiration for Bishnoi, whom he considers an idol. He reportedly planned to extort a ransom of Rs. 5 Crores and it is planned to use the funds to build a temple for the Bishnoi community.
Law enforcement agencies, particularly the Mumbai Police, are actively investigating these threats.
