“The security has been beefed up outside the actor’s residence, and a forensic team is also present at the spot. We are checking the CCTV footage from the area and the surrounding locality to identify the accused,” the police added.

More details are awaited in connection with the incident.

For more than a year, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has given multiple death threats to Bollywood star Salman Khan after which the actor was given a Y security. The threats stem from the 1998 blackbuck case that transpired in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. A fresh threat was issued to the actor according to reports after which Mumbai Police reviewed his security last year in November.

The gangster’s post post on Facebook directed towards actor and singer Gippy Gerewal read- ‘No one can save you. Your flamboyant response to Sidhu Moose Wala’s death didn’t go unnoticed. We are well aware of his character and his criminal connections.’

Bishnoi , a prime accused in Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala murder case, told the Delhi Police back in 2022 that his community would not forgive  Salman Khan  unless he tendered an apology for killing a blackbuck, which is considered sacred by the Bishnoi community.

Salman  imports a SUV for protection

For the uninitiated,   Salman Khan  already has a bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser in his collection. And now, amid the death threats that he has been receiving, he imported Nissan’s most expensive SUV (Nissan Patrol) for security reasons earlier in April.. This SUV has not been officially launched in the Indian market yet.
