Salman Khan receives death threat again, unknown caller demands Rs 20 million from actor

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has reportedly received a death threat again. According to the Mumbai Police, an unknown caller demanded Rs 2 crore (Rs 20million) from the actor. The police have registered an offence against an unknown person for sending messages on WhatsApp to Mumbai Police's Traffic Helpline number, demanding the saidamount.

The unknown sender has threatened dire consequences to Salman Khan if the demandis not met.

The Traffic Police reported the matter to the Worli Police, which registered an offence and started tracking the sender.

The incident comes two days after the Mumbai Police arrested a 20-year-old man from Noida in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly issuing death threats to Salman Khan and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique. The man was arrested on Monday.

"The accused initially sent a threatening message on MLA Zeeshan Siddique's helpline number and later made a voice call on it, in which he issued a death threat to Siddique and actor Salman Khan. This took place on Friday," an official of Nirmal Nagar police station in Mumbai said. The accused has been brought to Mumbai for further investigation.

The call was made at Zeeshan Siddique's public relations office located in Bandra East in Mumbai.

Zeeshan's father, Baba Siddique (66), a three-time MLA and former state minister, was shot dead outside his son's office in Bandra on October 12. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the NCP leader's killing, citing the politician's close ties with Salman as one of the reasons why he was killed.

Bishnoi's gang had earlier fired shots outside Salman's Mumbai residence in April this year. Four men were arrested by Mumbai Police in relation to the case.
