Another threat message for actor Salman Khan was received on the Bombay city traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline number on November 5 around 12.30 a.m. The message was from an unknown person claiming to be the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The sender of the message asked Salman to apologise for killing black bucks near Jodhpur in 1998 or pay Rs. 5 crore to stay alive. The Worli (Bombay) police registered a case of extortion and criminal intimidation against the sender. From initial investigations, the police said that the phone number of the sender was issued in Karnataka.
Salman was arrested in 1998 for allegedly poaching black bucks in Rajasthan. During the last one week, the police arrested three people in separate cases for allegedly sending threatening messages for the actor.
