Mumbai Police have arrested a man named Faizal Khan from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, in connection with a death threat issued to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The arrest follows an earlier threat to Salman Khan, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Faizal Khan, the suspect in Shah Rukh’s case, is currently being interrogated by police officials.
The police received a threatening call last week at the Bandra station, demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh from Shah Rukh Khan. The threat was immediately taken seriously, prompting the authorities to register a case and send a team to Raipur to investigate further. Specific details about the suspect, Faizal Khan, remain undisclosed at this point.
This latest threat to Shah Rukh follows a worrying trend of similar threats made to his close friend, Bollywood actor Salman Khan. On October 24, Mumbai Police arrested a man from Jamshedpur for threatening Salman Khan, allegedly on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The individual demanded a ransom of Rs 5 crore, highlighting the escalating danger faced by these high-profile stars.
The series of threats against both Khan brothers has intensified security measures around them. Salman Khan has had his security upgraded to Y+ after a shocking firing incident outside his Mumbai residence in April this year. The attack occurred on April 14, outside Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, where the gunmen were later linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The police have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against all suspects involved in the attack.
Investigations revealed that Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Vishnoi, played a crucial role in orchestrating the plot. According to reports, Anmol provided the shooters with information about Salman’s residence and instructed them to carry out the attack. The shooters were reportedly paid Rs 3 lakh for their involvement in the shooting. This incident marked a significant escalation in the ongoing threats to the Bollywood stars.
In a shocking turn of events, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang also claimed responsibility for the brutal shooting of former politician Baba Siddique on October 12. Siddique, a Nationalist Congress Party leader, was attacked while leaving his son’s office in Bandra. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after the attack. The violent incidents have sparked widespread concern among fans and citizens about the growing threats to public figures.
While the security of Salman and Shah Rukh Khan has been heightened in response to these incidents, the recent developments underline a troubling pattern of increasing threats by organized crime syndicates. The police continue to investigate the connections between these attacks and the involvement of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Authorities have assured the public that the perpetrators will be held accountable, and efforts are underway to prevent further incidents.
For now, both Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan remain under tight security, as authorities work to uncover more details about the ongoing threats against these beloved stars. Fans and the general public continue to express concern, hoping that the situation is brought under control before more lives are endangered.
