Salman Khan Death Threat: Man Arrested in Karnataka, Claims Ties to Lawrence Bishnoi

The Threat Issued by Vikram

The police stated that Vikram had issued the threat after watching a regional news channel. He called the Mumbai Police control room and threatened Salman Khan’s life. “The accused is a daily wage worker and claims to be a fan of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi,” a police source explained. The source added that while this is the suspect’s statement, the Mumbai Police will conduct further interrogation and investigation.

Vikram’s message to Salman Khan was clear: “If Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our temple and apologise or pay ₹5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active.” The person behind the threat initially claimed to be the brother of imprisoned gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. A case was subsequently filed at the Worli police station.

Investigation and Arrest

Further investigation revealed that the accused was from Karnataka, prompting the Worli police to send a team to arrest him. Vikram was detained late on Tuesday, and after interrogation, he was formally arrested by the Worli police. The suspect was then presented in court for a transit remand and is being transported to Mumbai for further legal proceedings.
