Salman Khan Receives Fresh Death Threat, Warned of Car Bomb Attack
Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has reportedly received another chilling death threat, this time through a WhatsApp message sent to Mumbai’s Transport Department in Worli on Monday. The anonymous threat specifically warned of killing the actor inside his Mumbai residence and blowing up his car, police sources revealed.
Details of the Threat
- The Worli Police Station has registered a case against an unidentified individual
- Authorities are working to trace the message’s origin and verify its credibility
- This marks the latest in a series of threats against the actor in recent years
History of Threats
Security concerns around Khan have intensified since April 2024 when two assailants on a motorcycle fired shots outside his Bandra residence, Galaxy Apartments. The attackers, later arrested in Gujarat, were allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The gang has repeatedly targeted Khan, demanding:
- A public apology or temple visit for the 1998 blackbuck poaching case
- Rs 5 crore as compensation (later reduced to Rs 2 crore in subsequent threats)
- In 2023, an email threat was attributed to gangster Goldy Brar
Khan’s Response to Ongoing Threats
During a recent Mumbai press event, the actor addressed the security concerns with philosophical resolve:
“Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai (God and Allah are watching over. My lifespan will be as long as fate allows. That’s it).”
The 58-year-old actor has significantly altered his routine due to safety concerns:
- Now strictly travels only between home and film sets
- Feels more secure when media is present
- Avoids unnecessary public appearances
Police continue to investigate the latest threat while maintaining heightened security around the actor. The recurring nature of these threats has raised questions about the effectiveness of protective measures for high-profile individuals in Mumbai.
Key Updates:
- Stronger headline emphasizing the car bomb warning
- Clearer timeline of threats
- More organized structure separating threat details, history, and Khan’s response
- Added context about security implications
- Sharper quotes with proper translation formatting
