Man who threatened Salman Khan for Rs. 5 crore arrested in Karnataka

Salman Khan threat message case:

A couple of days ago, superstar Salman Khan received a death threat from a man. This was the third threat in the last 10-15 days, after which the police beefed up the security around the star. However, Salman is not in Mumbai and is currently shooting upcoming film Sikandar in Hyderabad.

The police have now nabbed the man who sent this threat message to the Mumbai police control room. This 32-year-old man has been identified as Vikram and he is a resident of Rajasthan. The cops traced his location after receiving the message and then arrested him in Karnataka.

Confirming the news, Anshu Kumar, Haveri Superintendent of Police, told PTI, "Based on information received from the Maharashtra ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad), one person was apprehended in Haveri Town and handed over to them today."

The 32-year-old man is a daily wage worker and claims to be a fan of Bishnoi. However, in the earlier message, he claimed to Bishnoi's brother, which doesn't seem to be true at the moment. As per the police report, he moved to Haveri, Karanataka, a month ago and has been working at the construction site. He was residing in the Gowdar Oni area when they caught him.

A source from the police department said, "The accused was watching a regional news channel when he suddenly called the Mumbai Police control room and issued a death threat to Salman Khan. He is a daily wage worker and claims to be a fan of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. This is his version, but his detailed interrogation and further investigation will be conducted by the Mumbai Police. Our team only secured him and handed him over to the Mumbai Police."

Earlier this week, this man sent a message to the Mumbai police control room, saying that Salman Khan must visit the Bishnoi community's temple in Rajasthan or pay Rs. 5 crore. He also said that if Salman Khan fails to fulfill either of the tasks, it will be in his life, with an ending mark that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is "still active." Now, a police case has been registered against him at Worli police station in Mumbai.
