Renowned Bollywood actor Salman Khan has recently received yet another death threat, purportedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang is demanding ₹5 crore to settle the ongoing conflict. An alarming WhatsApp message forwarded to the Mumbai Traffic Police has indicated that failure to comply with this demand could lead to dire consequences for Khan, with the message drawing parallels to the recent tragic fate of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui, who was reportedly murdered by individuals associated with the gang.

The chilling message clearly stated, "This is a serious matter. If Salman Khan wishes to ensure his safety and resolve the conflict with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ₹5 crore. Failing to do so will result in repercussions worse than what befell Baba Siddiqui."

In response to this unsettling development, the Mumbai Police have initiated efforts to trace the origin of the message, and security measures around Khan's residence in Bandra have been intensified. Despite Khan's ongoing vigilance following previous threats, this latest development has further heightened concerns about the actor's safety.

Coinciding with this threat, the Navi Mumbai Police detained a significant member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, identified as Sukha alias Sukhbir Balbir Singh, in Panipat, Haryana. Singh is believed to have played a substantial role in a plot to assassinate Khan, allegedly orchestrating the recruitment of other gang members for this nefarious purpose.

According to sources, Singh had established contact with an individual named Dogar, based in Pakistan, to coordinate the planned attack. The gang intended to employ highly potent firearms, including AK-47s and M16s, which were reportedly smuggled from Pakistan for the intended assassination.

 The apprehension of Singh marks a significant milestone in the continued scrutiny of the Bishnoi gang's machinations aimed at Khan.  Earlier this year, the Navi Mumbai Police filed a report against 18 gang members for their involvement in a plot to harm the actor, following an incident where shots were fired outside Khan's residence.

The police report specifically implicates prominent figures within the Bishnoi gang, including Lawrence Bishnoi, his brother Anmol, Sampat Nehra, Goldie Brar, and Rohit Godhara, known for their involvement in violent criminal activities in North India.

Investigative authorities have disclosed that the gang had deployed approximately 60 to 70 individuals to monitor Khan's movements, surveilling various locations such as his residence in Bandra, his farmhouse in Panvel, and his filming sites. The gang even attempted to recruit minors as potential sharpshooters.

This is not the first time that Khan has been targeted by the Bishnoi gang. In 2022, a threatening letter was discovered near his residence, and in March 2023, he received an email from gang members. Additionally, in January 2024, unknown individuals with falsified identities attempted to trespass onto Khan's farmhouse, prompting the actor to bolster security measures around his property.

Khan's discord with Lawrence Bishnoi traces back several years, with the gangster reportedly harboring resentment towards the actor due to his alleged involvement in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The Bishnoi community reveres the blackbuck as a sacred animal, representing the primary motivation behind the gang's pursuit of vengeance against Khan.
