Shah Rukh Khan’s case involves a threat call traced to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and Mumbai Police have initiated an investigation, with teams dispatched to the area for further inquiries. The case against the unknown assailant is registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including those related to threats and criminal intimidation.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan has faced multiple threats, including a recent one on November 5, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, demanding either an apology or a payment of Rs 5 crore. This follows a previous threat from the same gang earlier in October, where a ransom of Rs 2 crore was reportedly demanded. Mumbai Police have been actively investigating both cases, including the arrest of a man in Jamshedpur in connection with the earlier threats.
These events underline the escalating concerns regarding the safety of high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry, particularly given the involvement of notorious criminal gangs like Lawrence Bishnoi’s. The situation also highlights the broader issue of security for celebrities and the potential link between organized crime and the film industry.
