Salman Khan receives fresh death threat via WhatsApp; FIR registered, security tightened
Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received another death threat, this time via a message sent to the official WhatsApp number of the Worli Traffic Department. The threat warned that the actor would be killed at his Bandra residence and that his car would be blown up with a bomb.
Following the receipt of the message, the Worli Police registered an FIR against the unidentified sender and have initiated efforts to trace the source of the threat.
Security has been tightened around Khan’s home at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra. The actor and his team have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
This threat adds to a series of ongoing intimidations targeting the actor, allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In April 2024, a threat letter was dropped near Khan’s father, Salim Khan, during his morning walk, escalating the security concerns for the family.
In response to the threats, Salman Khan has installed bulletproof glass in his home and limited his public appearances. He has also reduced outdoor shoots and maintains a restricted crew for indoor filming.
On Sunday, the actor was seen at Mumbai airport in a serious mood, accompanied by his bodyguard Shera, who was visibly agitated with the media presence.
Police investigations are underway, and further details are awaited.

50 passengers from Karnataka stranded in conflict region arrived in New Delhi: CM office
Bengaluru (PTI): Fifty passengers from the state who were stranded in the Gulf region amid the ongoing West Asia conflict arrived in New Delhi early Friday morning after departing from Fujairah in the UAE, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office said.
The protocol team (Karnataka govt) were at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi with breakfast, it said.
They were transported on a KSRP (Karnataka State Reserve Police) bus and two cars to domestic terminals for their onward travel to Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Hubballi, the CM office said in a statement.
Many were disgruntled and complained to the team that MEA did nothing, and it was only a local organisation that helped them with their tickets, etc., the statement claimed.
"Incidentally, we are the only state so far that is providing this assistance at the Delhi airport," it added.
