Bollywood actor Salman Khan has once again received a threatening message, suspected to be from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.


A threatening message targeting Bollywood actor Salman Khan was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Control Room on Thursday.


The message warned that a song mentioning "Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi" would not be forgiven. It stated that the songwriter would be killed within a month and left in a condition so severe he would never write under his name again. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly added, “If Salman has the courage, let him try to protect him.”


This warning was part of the threatening message. The Mumbai Police are currently investigating the matter.

On a complaint by traffic officials, the Worli police have registered a case and launched a probe.

Police sources said that the Worli police tracked the location of the mobile number used to send the threatening message via traffic police.

According to sources, the individual who sent the message is from Karnataka.

An officer stated that the phone number is registered under the name of a person named Venkatesh. A police team has been dispatched to Karnataka.

The threat message that was sent to the police

Notably, the previous threat message sender and the individual who demanded a ransom of 5 crore, Bikharm Bishnoi, was also from Karnataka.

In the past few weeks, the traffic police helpline has received many threat messages for Salman Khan.

Salman Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

While Bishnoi himself is lodged in Ahmedabad's Sabarmati jail in cases including attempted murder and extortion, suspected members of his gang opened fire outside the actor's Bandra home in April.

Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol has been made an accused in the case.

Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Salman Khan had received a fresh threat, as reported by a police official on November 5. The threat, which was sent to the Mumbai traffic police helpline, has left authorities concerned for the actor's safety.

According to the police, the message was read around midnight by an officer who was monitoring the helpline.
