The Bombay city crime branch has arrested a 25-year-old man from Bundi village in Rajasthan for uploading a video threatening to kill actor Salman Khan. This is the third threat to Salman this year, including the firing at his Bandra (Bombay) residence in April. He was brought to Bombay on June 16 and produced before a local court which remanded him to police custody till June 18. The South Bombay cyber police registered an FIR on June 12 after Banwarilal Laturlal Gurjar allegedly uploaded the video on his YouTube channel
The YouTube video says, “Goldy (Brar), Rohit (Godara), Nitin and Vivek (all associates of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi) are with us. Salman has an attitude. Despite being told to apologise for the black buck killing, he hasn’t… However tight his security… we will eliminate him.”
Gurjar was charged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including section 506(2) (punishment for criminal intimidation), as well as the Information Technology Act.
On April 14 this year, two motorbike-borne men, allegedly belonging to the Bishnoi gang, fired multiple rounds at Salman’s residence at Band Stand, Bandra in Bombay. In May, the Navi Mumbai police arrested five men who were allegedly planning an ambush near Khan’s Panvel farmhouse using sophisticated weapons.
