Salman Khan's Family Faces Fresh Threats Amid Ongoing Gang Tensions

TDN

Mumbai — In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s family has encountered yet another alarming incident involving threats of violence. While enjoying his morning walk, Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan, was approached by a woman in a burqa, along with a man on a scooter, who referenced the notorious gang member Lawrence Bishnoi.

This encounter has raised significant concerns due to the family's troubled history with the Bishnoi gang. Salim Khan was seated on a bench when the unidentified woman allegedly posed a chilling question: “Should I shoot Lawrence Bishnoi?” The identity of the woman remains a mystery, and police are actively searching for her and her accomplice.

Although some reports suggest the incident may have been a prank, authorities are taking the threat seriously given the Khan family's history of violence and intimidation from the Bishnoi gang.

The Lawrence Bishnoi Connection

Lawrence Bishnoi, a well-known criminal with a vendetta against Salman Khan, has harbored animosity since the 1998 Blackbuck poaching case, where Salman was convicted of killing protected blackbucks. This incident has made the actor a target in the eyes of Bishnoi’s community, who regard these animals as sacred. The tensions escalated further last year when Salim Khan received a death threat letter during another morning walk, highlighting the ongoing dangers the family faces.

Previous Attacks on the Khan Family

The threats against the Khan family are not new. In April 2024, gunfire erupted outside Salman Khan’s residence, Galaxy Apartments, in Mumbai. Fortunately, no one was injured during the attack, which sent shockwaves through the family and their fans. Anmol Bishnoi, a relative of Lawrence Bishnoi, later claimed responsibility for the shooting on social media, intensifying fears for the family’s safety.

Salman Khan's Response

In the wake of the earlier shooting, Salman Khan shared his concerns with police, expressing his belief that the Bishnoi gang was behind the attack. “I heard a sound like a firecracker, and my security informed me that shots were fired at our apartment’s balcony,” he recounted, underlining the precarious situation faced by his family.

Ongoing Threats

The recent encounter involving Salim Khan only adds to the growing list of threats directed at the family by the Bishnoi gang. Authorities are now ramping up security measures for the Khan family as investigations continue. With tensions running high, fans and the public alike are left anxiously watching as the situation unfolds.
