​Bollywood actor Salman Khan has once again found himself the target of a death threat, underscoring the ongoing security challenges he faces. On Monday, reports emerged that an anonymous individual sent a threatening message to the Mumbai Traffic Police’s WhatsApp helpline, stating intentions to assassinate the actor within his residence and to plant a bomb in his vehicle. In response, the Mumbai Police have filed a complaint and initiated an investigation to trace the source of the threat.​ Details of the Threat The menacing message was received early on Monday morning, alarming authorities and prompting immediate action.

The sender claimed to have the means to infiltrate Salman Khan’s home and threatened to plant explosives in his car. This incident is particularly concerning given the actor’s previous encounters with threats and attempts on his life.​ Previous Threats and Security Concerns This recent threat is not an isolated incident. Over the past two years, Salman Khan has been subjected to multiple security threats, many allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In April of the previous year, assailants associated with this gang fired shots outside the actor’s Bandra residence. Subsequently, in June, Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot by the same gang to assassinate Khan at his Panvel farmhouse. These developments have led to heightened security measures, including the provision of Y+ category protection and the use of bulletproof vehicles.​

Lawrence Bishnoi Gang’s Alleged Involvement The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been at the center of several threats against the actor. In October of the previous year, a message was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police’s WhatsApp helpline, demanding a ransom of ₹2 crore in exchange for Salman Khan’s safety. The message warned that failure to comply would result in the actor’s death. ​Further intensifying concerns, a member of the Bishnoi gang was apprehended in Panipat, Haryana, for allegedly plotting to kill Khan. The accused had reportedly been in contact with handlers based in Pakistan, discussing the procurement of firearms to execute the plan. ​In a more recent incident, a caller identifying himself as “Goushala Rakshak Rocky Bhai” from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, contacted the Mumbai police control room, threatening to kill Salman Khan on April 30. The caller demanded that the actor be informed of the threat. This prompted the Mumbai Police to bolster security measures around Khan’s residence and initiate efforts to trace the origin of the call. ​Salman Khan’s Professional Endeavors Amidst these security challenges, Salman Khan continues to engage in his professional commitments.

He was recently seen in the film “Sikandar,” directed by A.R. Murugadoss. Released during the Eid festivities, the film garnered a global box office collection of approximately ₹200 crore, with ₹109 crore from the Indian market. However, the film’s momentum has since slowed, and it is projected to conclude its theatrical run without surpassing the ₹250 crore mark, a figure that many had anticipated given Khan’s star power.​ Conclusion The recurrence of threats against Salman Khan highlights the persistent security challenges faced by high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry. It also sheds light on the activities of criminal organizations like the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which have historically targeted celebrities. As investigations continue, it is imperative for both law enforcement and public figures to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing such threats to ensure safety and security
