Bollywood actor Salman Khan gets Rs 5 cr extortion-cum-death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi gang

iNDICA NEWS BUREAU-

Popular Bollywood actor Salman Khan has got a fresh extortion-cum-death threat demanding Rs 5 crore, suspected to be made by a gangster linked with the dreaded Lawrence Bishnoi gang, officials said on Friday, October 18.

The extortion threat was received by the Mumbai Traffic Police, purportedly offering to resolve the ongoing face-off between the actor and the jailed Bishnoi in return for coughing out a payment of Rs 5 crore.

However, it also warned that if the extortion amount was not paid, then Khan could meet a fate worse than politician Baba Siddique, a ruling ally of Nationalist Congress Party, who was fatally shot in Bandra East, Mumbai, on October 12.

The ominous message on WhatsApp said: “If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and wants to end the enmity with Bishnoi, then he must pay up Rs five crore. Do not take this lightly, otherwise, Salman Khan’s condition will be worse than Baba Siddique.”

Taking it seriously, the Mumbai Police have started a probe into the antecedents of the sender, their intention behind the extortion-death threats, etc, considering that last month a young couple had threatened the actor’s father Salim Khan “merely for fun”, but sparked huge alarm.

For several years, Khan and his dad have been at the receiving end of the Bishnoi gang’s threats, ultimatums and extortion demands. Earlier this year, gang members also opened fire outside their home in Galaxy Apartments in Bandra West.

Interestingly, after the April firing at the Khan home, the Bishnoi gang had termed it as the “final warning”, and this time the extortion threat has called upon the actor not to take it “lightly” or face consequences akin to Siddique.
