The recent arrest of Bikaram Jalaram Bishnoi, a 32-year-old man from Rajasthan, sheds light on the ongoing security concerns surrounding Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Bishnoi, who claimed to be the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was apprehended in Karnataka for allegedly sending a threatening message to the Mumbai Traffic Police control room targeting Khan. The incident highlights the chilling reality of threats and intimidation faced by high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry, raising questions about security measures and the motives behind such acts.
The accused was apprehended based on information received from the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). He was staying in various locations in Karnataka before settling in Haveri, where he was working at construction sites. The police investigation suggests that Bishnoi, while claiming to be a fan of Lawrence Bishnoi, was motivated by a desire to gain notoriety and possibly exploit the notoriety associated with the gangster's name. The investigation will delve deeper into his claims and motivations, seeking to uncover the truth behind his actions and the potential connection to Lawrence Bishnoi.
The incident of the threatening message is not isolated. On November 5th, Salman Khan received another threat message, allegedly from Lawrence Bishnoi himself, offering him a choice: apologize at a temple or pay a ₹5 crore ransom. The sender, claiming to be Bishnoi's brother, warned of dire consequences if Khan failed to comply. This follows a previous threat message demanding a ₹2 crore ransom, highlighting a pattern of intimidation aimed at the actor. The Mumbai Police are conducting a detailed investigation to determine the veracity of these threats and to identify the individuals responsible, ensuring the safety of Salman Khan and his family.
