Shah Rukh Khan receives death threat, caller demands ₹50 lakh

Mumbai’s Bandra police have registered a case against an unidentified person after receiving a threatening call on a police landline number, warning of plans to kill Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan. The police have started an investigation in collaboration with the Cyber ​​Police Station.

The case has been registered under Sections 308 (4) and 351 (3)(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The threat against Shah Rukh Khan follows a series of similar threats against fellow actor Salman Khan in recent months. Authorities are trying to trace the caller and ensure the safety of the actors.

“The Bandra police station received a call threatening Shah Rukh Khan and asking for ₹50 lakh. A violation has been registered. No arrest has been made yet,” a senior police official told news agency PTI.

The Mumbai Police team reportedly traced the call to Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Since then, teams have left for Chhattisgarh and investigations have started.

Earlier on November 5, Mumbai Police had received a threat notice against superstar Salman Khan, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threat message gave the actor two options: apologize or pay ₹5 crore to stay alive.

The traffic control room of the Mumbai Police received the threatening message via WhatsApp in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, saying that Salman Khan wanted to stay alive.

“He should go to our temple and apologize or give ₹5 crore. If he doesn’t, we will kill him, our gang is still active,” said the message claiming to be in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother.

This was the second death threat Salman Khan has received in a week. In the earlier death threat, also received by the Mumbai Police Traffic Control, a ransom of ₹2 crore was demanded from the actor.

Earlier on October 24, Mumbai Police arrested a man from Jamshedpur who had threatened Salman Khan in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and demanded a ransom of ₹5 crore.

According to the Mumbai Police, it had registered a case against an unknown person and initiated an investigation after the Mumbai Traffic Police received a threatening message.
