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

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

“The Bandra police station received a call threatening Shah Rukh Khan and asking for Rs 50 lakh. An offense 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. The teams have since left for Chhattisgarh and the investigation continues.

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

The Mumbai Police traffic control room received the threatening message on behalf of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi through WhatsApp with the message saying that Salman Khan wanted to stay alive.

“You should go to our temple and apologize or give 5 million rupees. If you don’t, we will kill you, 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 previous death threat, also received by the Mumbai Police traffic control, a ransom of Rs 2 million was demanded from the actor.

Earlier on October 24, Mumbai Police arrested a man from Jamshedpur who had threatened Salman Khan on behalf of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and demanded a ransom of Rs 5 million.

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