Bollywood Dabangg actor Salman Khan has once again received a threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang over a song linking him to the notorious gangster. The threat was sent to the Traffic Control Room in Mumbai on Thursday.
The threat was made in reference to a song that allegedly linked both Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, saying that the lyricist would face severe retaliation within a month.
After Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan also threatened, call from Chhattisgarh
According to the report, the new threatening message demanded Rs 5 crore from actor Salman Khan and also threatened to kill a lyricist, who wrote a song about Lawrence Bishnoi.
The message directly challenged Salman Khan and said that if Salman Khan has the courage, he should save this song writer.
The incident has triggered a series of threats against Lawrence Bishnoi and his associates, who had earlier targeted the Bollywood actor over issues related to the blackbuck poaching case since 1998.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police is investigating another case of death threats to actor Shah Rukh Khan and an extortion of Rs 50 lakh. A call to the Bandra police was traced to a phone registered to Raipur lawyer Faizan Khan, who said his phone was stolen on November 2 and suspected a conspiracy.

**Interview with Bollywood Security Expert, Ravi Mehta**
**Editor:** Today, we’re speaking with security expert Ravi Mehta about the recent threats made against Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Ravi, this is not the first time Salman has received threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, and now it seems the situation is escalating. What does this mean for the safety of celebrities in India?
**Ravi Mehta:** The targeting of high-profile figures like Salman and Shah Rukh Khan raises significant concerns about their security. The nature of these threats clearly indicates that there is a growing boldness among gangs like the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. It’s alarming that such threats are publicly issued, implying they feel emboldened enough to challenge these actors.
**Editor:** The recent threat included a demand for Rs 5 crore and the threat against a lyricist who wrote a song linking Salman to the gang. How do you view the implications of the music industry being dragged into this violence?
**Ravi Mehta:** The involvement of the music industry is particularly worrying. It highlights the power dynamics and influence that gangs have, not just in the film industry but across various artistic platforms. If lyricists and musicians feel similarly threatened, it could stifle creativity and free expression. This could lead to self-censorship in an industry already sensitive to controversy.
**Editor:** With Shahrukh Khan also receiving threats, what does this indicate about the broader climate of fear among actors in Bollywood?
**Ravi Mehta:** This signifies a troubling trend where no one is safe from harassment or threats, regardless of their stature in the industry. It showcases a culture of fear that not only impacts individual lives but also the industry as a whole. As these stories circulate, actors may hesitate to engage with content that could provoke a backlash.
**Editor:** What measures do you think Bollywood could implement to protect its artists moving forward?
**Ravi Mehta:** Stronger collaboration with law enforcement is essential. Implementing security protocols, especially during public appearances, is crucial. Additionally, the industry needs to advocate for anti-extortion laws that can deter such threats and create an environment where artists can feel secure in their work.
**Editor:** readers, what do you think about the safety of celebrities in light of these threats? How much accountability do you think the authorities should take to protect public figures like Salman and Shahrukh Khan? Let’s discuss.
