According to authorities, the location of the individual has been traced to Jharkhand, and a police team has been dispatched to apprehend the person behind the threats. Earlier, on October 18, the Mumbai Traffic Police received a WhatsApp message demanding Rs 5 crore from the actor, warning that his fate could be worse than that of NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was assassinated recently.

The threatening message stated, “Don’t take this lightly. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end his enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay Rs 5 crore. If the money isn’t paid, Salman’s fate will be worse than Baba Siddique’s.” The sender had identified himself as a close associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and claimed he could mediate a truce between the actor and the gangster.

Increased Security for Salman Khan
Salman Khan has been facing death threats in recent months, leading to heightened security measures. The actor now has Y+ security protection, and security around his Bandra residence and Panvel farmhouse has been significantly increased following the threats. Additionally, Mumbai Police have installed advanced AI-powered CCTV cameras with facial recognition technology to monitor the area closely.

Khan’s security has also been bolstered in the wake of NCP leader Baba Siddique’s assassination. The former Maharashtra minister and three-time MLA was shot outside his son’s office in Bandra by three gunmen. Despite being rushed to Lilavati Hospital, Siddique was pronounced dead on arrival. Mumbai Police have so far arrested 10 suspects in connection with the murder.

Salman Khan Alludes to Threats on “Bigg Boss 18”
In his first public remarks following these events, Salman Khan subtly referenced the challenges he’s been facing in his personal life. During the Weekend ka Vaar episode of “Bigg Boss 18,” where Khan serves as the host, he admitted he almost skipped the show due to personal stress.

“Yaar, qasam khuda ki what all I am going through in my life, and I have to come and handle this (arguments between housemates)… I feel that I shouldn’t have come here today. But you have to do what you have to do,” Khan said in a clip circulating on social media.

He also added, “Mere par bhi bahut saare laanchan lagaye gaye hain (I have been accused of many things). I know what my parents go through,” referencing the numerous challenges he has faced.
