Salman Khan Death Threat: Worli Police File FIR, Suspect Traced To Gujarat’s Vadodara
A 26-year-old man from Vadodara, Gujarat, has been detained by the Worli Police in Mumbai for allegedly sending a death threat email to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The threatening message, sent on March 5 to Khan’s office, warned the actor to “settle matters” with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi or face serious consequences.
A senior police official stated, “The email had direct references to the Bishnoi gang and warned Salman Khan of a fate similar to the recent shooting incident outside his Bandra residence.” The message also revived fears linked to the April 2024 incident, when two men fired shots outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartment.
Mumbai Police’s cyber team immediately launched an investigation. “We traced the origin of the email through IP tracking and technical analysis, which led us to the accused in Vadodara,” said an officer from the cyber cell. The man, who was using a fake identity, was taken into custody and brought to Mumbai for further interrogation.
Police are now trying to ascertain whether the accused has any real connection with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang or if he acted alone. “As of now, it appears he may have used the gang’s name to gain notoriety or incite fear, but we are verifying every angle,” said a source close to the investigation.
