Bollywood actor Salman Khan has applied for a weapon license for self-protection in view of the threat letter that he received from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang last month. "Actor Salman Khan applied for a weapon license for self-protection at the Mumbai Police after he recently received a threat letter," said the Mumbai Police.

Earlier, Khan reached Mumbai Police headquaters in south Mumbai. The actor met newly appointed Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar at his office, an official said.

The actor arrived at the Mumbai police commissioner's office around 4 pm and met Phansalkar, the official said. Adding that it was just a courtesy visit and had nothing to do with any case. Khan also met Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Vishwas Nangre Patil there.
