Cops launch probe as Salman Khan gets death threat with demand for Rs 2 cr

Mumbai: The Mumbai police filed a formal complaint against an unnamed individual on Wednesday after Bollywood actor Salman Khan allegedly got a second death threat and a demand of Rs two crore.

According to the official, the actor was threatened with death if he did not pay Rs two crore in an anonymous message sent to Mumbai police traffic on Tuesday.

The police registered a case against the unidentified person and an investigation was on into the matter, he added.

Earlier this month, the Mumbai traffic police's WhatsApp helpline desk received a threat message demanding Rs 5 crore from the actor.

The police have arrested a man from Jamshedpur in this connection.

The Mumbai police on Monday arrested a man from Noida in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly issuing a death threat to Salman Khan and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique.

Notably, Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Suspected members of the gang had opened fire outside the actor's Bandra home in April this year.

A few months back, the Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Khan, leading to security enhancement for the actor.
