Salman Khan Faces Extortion Threat from Bishnoi Gang in Mumbai

MUMBAI: In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again found himself at the center of a serious threat. This time, the threat comes from the notorious Bishnoi Gang, led by the brother of infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The gang is demanding a staggering Rs 5 crore, and the message was sent late Monday night to the Mumbai traffic police control room in Worli.

The sender of this alarming message made it clear that if Khan wishes to ensure his safety, he must either apologize to the Bishnoi community at their temple or pay the hefty sum demanded. The message included a chilling warning: "If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active." This threat has raised serious concerns about the safety of the actor, who has faced similar threats in the past.

Just recently, on October 29, another individual issued a similar threat targeting both Salman Khan and Maharashtra NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique, demanding Rs 2 crore. This message was sent to the traffic police WhatsApp helpline and warned both men that they could meet a grim fate similar to that of Zeeshan Siddique’s father, former state minister Baba Siddique, who was tragically killed in Bandra on October 12.

Moreover, last month, Khan was also threatened by a man from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, who demanded Rs 5 crore. The Bishnoi gang has a history of targeting Salman Khan, with suspected members reportedly firing shots outside his Bandra home back in April. This gang is not only linked to threats against Khan but has also been associated with violent incidents involving Sikh activists, including murder and attempted murder cases in the US and Canada.

The repeated threats against Salman Khan highlight a troubling trend in the entertainment industry, where celebrities are increasingly becoming targets for extortion and violence. It raises questions about the safety measures in place for public figures and the effectiveness of law enforcement in addressing such serious threats. As fans and followers of the film industry, it is essential to remain aware of these issues and advocate for the safety of those who entertain us.

The situation surrounding Salman Khan serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can lurk behind the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. It is crucial for authorities to take these threats seriously and ensure the safety of individuals who contribute to the cultural fabric of society. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how law enforcement will respond to this latest threat and what measures will be taken to protect not only Salman Khan but others in the industry as well.
