The Bandra (Bombay) police station received a call on its landline on November 5, issuing a threat to the life of actor Shah Rukh Khan and demanding a Rs. 50 lakh ransom. The caller’s number has been traced to Faizan Khan, a lawyer from Raipur (in Chhattisgarh). Faizan claimed that his phone was stolen. He has, however, been summoned to Bombay to the police station for questioning.
The Bombay traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline has in recent times received several calls to threaten actor Salman Khan.
In October 2023, Shah Rukh Khan’s security had been enhanced to Y+ category by the Maharashtra government following death threats received by him post-release of his Pathaan and Jawan, based on a written complaint.
