Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received a shocking extortion threat, demanding ₹5 crore, via a WhatsApp message sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police. The sender warned that if Salman doesn’t pay the amount, his fate will be worse than that of Baba Siddique, a politician who was recently murdered. The message also mentioned that the payment would help Salman Khan resolve his enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, a known criminal figure, according to reports from ANI.
The Mumbai Police have launched an investigation into the extortion threat. The alarming message, which urged Khan not to take the threat lightly, emphasized that the actor’s life was at stake unless he paid the demanded sum. Authorities are treating the matter seriously, given the rising tensions and the chilling reference to Baba Siddique’s recent murder.
Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader, was tragically shot dead on October 12 outside his son’s office in Bandra. The police have already arrested four suspects, including two alleged shooters and a co-conspirator, as part of the ongoing investigation into Siddique’s killing. The link between this incident and the threat against Salman Khan is being closely examined.
