Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has become the latest target of a disturbing death threat, with an unknown individual demanding a whopping Rs 50 lakh ransom. This alarming incident comes hot on the heels of fellow actor Salman Khan's own series of threats, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. According to Mumbai Police, the threatening call was received by the Bandra Police Station, prompting swift action and the registration of an extortion case.
The police have taken this threat extremely seriously, deploying teams to various locations to track down the culprit. A case has been filed under sections 308(4) and 351(3)(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deal with extortion involving threats of death and criminal intimidation. Although no arrests have been made yet, authorities are working tirelessly to ensure Shah Rukh Khan's safety. Interestingly, preliminary investigations suggest that the call may have originated from Raipur in Chhattisgarh, with Mumbai police issuing a notice to a person named Faiyaz Khan in connection with the threat.
This disturbing trend of celebrity threats has left fans of both Shah Rukh and Salman Khan on edge. Just recently, Salman Khan faced an extortion attempt, with a man from Jamshedpur being arrested for issuing threats in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threats against Salman reportedly demanded a staggering Rs 5 crore ransom and warned him to apologize at a designated temple or risk his life.
As the investigation unfolds, Mumbai Police are pulling out all the stops to guarantee the safety of both Shah Rukh and Salman Khan. With the nation holding its breath, one thing is clear - the authorities will leave no stone unturned in tracking down those responsible and bringing them to justice.
