Salman Khan’s destiny will be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui, the WhatsApp threat warned if the money was not paid.
Salman Khan, a Bollywood actor, allegedly received a death threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, requesting ₹ 5 crore to “end the enmity”. The actor’s destiny will be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was recently killed, allegedly by members of the Bishnoi gang, according to a WhatsApp message received to Mumbai Traffic Police.
“Take this seriously. Salman Khan needs to pay ₹ 5 crore to Lawrence Bishnoi in order to stay alive and put a stop to their animosity. The threat message said, “His condition will worsen than Baba Siddiqui’s if the money is not given.”
The Mumbai Police have reportedly boosted up security around Mr. Khan’s Bandra home and are investigating the message’s origins. After receiving threats in the past, the actor has been on high alert, and this new information has raised further worries for his safety.
The Navi Mumbai Police detained a prominent Lawrence Bishnoi gang member yesterday. The suspect, Sukha alias Sukhbir Balbir Singh, was detained in Panipat, Haryana, and is connected to a purported conspiracy to kill Mr. Khan. According to reports, Singh had given other gang members a contract to attack the star.
Police sources claim that in order to organize the intended attack, Singh had been in close communication with his handler, Dogar, a person stationed in Pakistan. The group purportedly planned to carry out the attack with powerful weapons imported from Pakistan, such as M16s, AK-92s, and AK-47s.
Singh’s apprehension represents the most recent development in an extensive inquiry into the Bishnoi gang’s plot against Mr. Khan. The Navi Mumbai police filed a formal complaint (FIR) against eighteen members of the gang earlier this year on charges of plotting the actor’s murder. After a startling event where gang members opened fire outside Mr. Khan’s Bandra home, the FIR was filed.
Prominent members of the Bishnoi gang, such as Rohit Godhara, Sampat Nehra, Goldie Brar, Anmol Bishnoi, and Lawrence Bishnoi himself, are among the accused named in the case. These people are well-known for their blatant threats and violent behavior, and they have long been connected to organized crime in North India.
Unsettling information regarding the gang’s planning has been revealed by the ongoing police investigation. According to police sources, the Bishnoi gang had between sixty and seventy operatives on the ground tracking Mr. Khan’s whereabouts. These people conducted reconnaissance at a number of sites, including the actor’s shooting locations and Mr. Khan’s property in Panvel and Bandra. The gang even made an effort to enlist young people to serve as sharpshooters.
Mr. Khan has already been the object of threats to his life attributed to the Bishnoi gang. The actor got an email purportedly written by gang members in March 2023, and a letter threatening him was found in 2022 on a bench close to his home. After two unidentified people tried to break into Mr. Khan’s Panvel home in January 2024 by posing as someone else, the actor strengthened security surrounding his land.
Mr. Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi have been at odds for a number of years. The actor is said to have harbored resentment towards the mobster, who is incarcerated at the moment, because of the actor’s purported involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The blackbuck is highly revered in the Bishnoi society, and the incident is
