Bollywood actor Salman Khan's security by the Mumbai police has been tightened after the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang claimed responsibility for his murder and said that anyone helping Khan would be on their list. Amid this, Salman has also personally increased his security by importing a bulletproof car from Dubai worth Rs 2 cr.

Salman Khan's security has been beefed up amid a death threat from the gangster who has recently asked the actor to pay up Rs 5 crore to end enmity with Bishnoi. The actor has been on the gangster's radar for his alleged involvement in a blackbuck poaching case. The Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck sacred.
Now, Salman has upgraded his security by investing in a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV worth Rs 2 crore. Since the car is not available in the Indian market, the star is reportedly getting it imported from Dubai.
Reportedly, the car has advanced safety features including explosive alert indicators, thick glass shields to prevent point-blank bullet shots, and camouflage black shades to prevent the driver or passenger from being identified.
Last year too, Salman had imported a bulletproof car from UAE after he and his father received death threat from Bishnoi for the first time.
