Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is once again in the crosshairs of extortionists, with a fresh threat demanding Rs 5 crore received by the Mumbai Traffic Police. According to officials, the city’s traffic control room received the message on its WhatsApp helpline on Thursday afternoon, prompting immediate action by the Worli police, who registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for threats and extortion.
The sender explicitly threatened Salman Khan, warning that if the demand for Rs 5 crore was not met, the consequences would be severe. This incident comes in the wake of previous threats against the actor, particularly from the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to multiple violent plots against high-profile figures.
Earlier in April, members of the Bishnoi gang had even opened fire outside Khan’s residence in Bandra, heightening concerns about the superstar’s safety. The ongoing threats have alarmed the police and public alike, as they uncover more layers of the sinister plans targeting one of India’s most beloved film icons.
Plot Uncovered:
In a related development, the Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot to assassinate Khan in June. As part of the investigation, they arrested Sukhbir Singh, an alleged shooter from Haryana’s Panipat, believed to be connected with the Bishnoi gang. The arrest has provided critical insights into the gang’s extensive operations, as authorities work to unravel the full scope of their intentions.
Unanswered Questions Behind the Threats:
Despite the multiple arrests and investigations, the real motive behind this relentless pursuit of Salman Khan remains unclear. Many are left wondering who is truly behind these threats and why they have targeted the actor so aggressively. Is it simply a matter of extortion, or is there a deeper reason behind this dangerous obsession with Khan?
Some speculate that Khan’s rising fame and success have made him a target for criminal gangs looking to gain notoriety or financial leverage. Others believe that the attack on Khan’s close friend, Baba Siddique, a prominent political figure, is somehow linked to this dangerous sequence of events. Siddique’s brutal murder, just days after the firing incident at Khan’s house, has only added to the growing puzzle.
The Larger Picture:
Salman Khan’s case is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of threats against celebrities and public figures in India. The involvement of the Bishnoi gang in both Khan’s threats and Siddique’s murder suggests a coordinated effort by criminal networks to intimidate and extort well-known personalities. While police have managed to arrest several key figures, including shooters and gang members, the mastermind behind these attacks remains elusive.
The question on everyone’s mind is: when will this mystery be solved? Is it just about money, or is Khan’s immense popularity and influence a threat to someone’s interests?
The public, as well as Salman Khan’s close circle, anxiously await answers as the police continue their investigation into this chilling saga.
