Salman Khan Threatened Again After Man Enters Shooting Set: ‘Should I Call Bishnoi?’
Salman Khan Threatened Again After Man Enters Shooting Set: ‘Should I Call Bishnoi?’
Salman Khan’s safety is still a major issue after a guy was arrested by police on Tuesday for breaking into the location where the actor’s movie was being filmed. The guy allegedly inquired, “Should I call Bishnoi?” when he was approached. This worrying event is the latest in a string of threats against the actor that have been connected to mobster Lawrence Bishnoi and his cronies. The individual was immediately brought to the Shivaji Park police station so that he could be questioned further.
The actor is the target of increased security threats at the time of this incident. Salman just got a terrifying threat over a song that supposedly names him and Lawrence Bishnoi through Mumbai’s traffic control room. The frightening note questioned the actor’s bravery and urged him to “save them” if he could, warning the lyricist of dire consequences within a month. The threat intensifies worries about the actor’s safety, particularly in light of a recent spate of similar occurrences.
Connection to Lawrence Bishnoi and Blackbuck Poaching
Salman Khan’s 1998 involvement in the Blackbuck poaching case is closely linked to his ongoing security worries. The actor has long been the target of concerns from the Bishnoi community, who revere blackbucks, particularly because two blackbucks were killed while Hum Saath Saath Hain was being filmed. The leader of a criminal organization with connections to this community, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has repeatedly called for the actor to issue a public apology and threatened to take harsh measures against him and his family if this demand is not fulfilled. Bishnoi affirmed in 2022 that until Salman apologized in this way, the community would not forgive him.
Recent Arrests and Increased Threats
When a 32-year-old guy called Bhikha Ram, also known as Vikram, was detained in Haveri, Karnataka, in relation to previous threats against Salman Khan, the security situation became more dire. For additional investigation, the accused—who was originally from Jalore, Rajasthan—was sent to Maharashtra’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
Shah Rukh Khan Also Targeted
In a related event, Shah Rukh Khan, another Bollywood star, was threatened by phone in November 2024. A guy named Faizan from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, made the contact and wanted Rs 50 lakh in ransom. A Mumbai Police squad is looking into the situation right now. This warning comes shortly after political activist Baba Siddique was tragically murdered, reportedly by a member of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, who also threatened Salman Khan in the same speech.

Rising Security Measures
Salman Khan’s security has been stepped up by the Mumbai Police, who have stationed the Special Reserve Police Force (SRPF) outside his homes in Bandra and Panvel and sent an escort vehicle to follow his official vehicle. Concern regarding the actor’s safety as well as the safety of the public personalities whom Bishnoi’s gang targets is reflected in these heightened precautions.
