Man enters set of Salman Khan's upcoming film, threatens his bodyguard
Mumbai (PTI): A man was detained after he entered the set of Bollywood actor Salman Khan's upcoming film here and threatened his bodyguard using the name of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, police said on Thursday.
Khan was not present on the set in Shivaji Park area on Wednesday when the incident took place, an official said.
The accused, against whom a non-cognisable or `NC' complaint was registered, is a junior artist working in the film industry, he said.
As he walked onto the set, a bodyguard stopped him and asked what was he doing there, said the police official.
They had an argument, and the accused threatened him using Bishnoi's name, as per the complaint.
Shivaji Park police took the man in custody and registered an NC case for alleged criminal intimidation under section 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
As per preliminary probe, the accused and the bodyguard knew each other and they had some dispute, the official said.
In a non-cognizable case, police can not register a First Information Report or arrest any person unless instructed by a court.
Salman Khan, 58, has received multiple threats from the Bishnoi gang in the past. Two members of the gang allegedly opened fire outside his residence here in April this year. Later, Panvel police also claimed to have uncovered a plot to attack Khan.

Jyotirmath Shankaracharya slams RSS chief for 'politically convenient' position on restoring temples
Haridwar, Dec 22: Shankaracharya of the Jyotirmath Peeth in Uttarakhand Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati on Sunday criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his "politically convenient" position on restoring temples.
Avimukteshwaranand said a list of temples destroyed in the past by invaders be prepared and archaeological surveys of the structures be carried out to "restore Hindu pride".
"When he wanted power, he went around speaking about temples. Now that he has power, he is advising not to look for temples," he said on Bhagwat's remarks.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Bhagwat recently said that it was not acceptable that new temple-mosque disputes are raked up after the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The seer said a lot of atrocities have been committed against the Hindus and their religious places have been destroyed in the past. "If now, the Hindu society wants to restore and preserve its temples, then what is wrong in it?"
The Shankaracharya also criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on BR Ambedkar in Parliament that has triggered a huge row between the ruling BJP and the Opposition.
Defending Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Avimukteshwaranand said the scuffle outside Parliament was due to Shah's remarks on Ambedkar.
He said that there are a lot of people who support Ambedkar's ideology so everyone is using his name for their politics.
Shah has been under fire from several opposition parties since Tuesday over a comment he made referring to Ambedkar during a debate on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha.
The next day, the BJP leader held a press conference and accused Congress of twisting facts and distorting his comments.
The seer also condemned alleged atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh and said that the central government should take strict action on the matter. He said that illegal immigrants from Bangladesh living in India should be sent back. He slammed the central government accusing it of lack of action on the matter.
Bhagwat has recently expressed concern over the resurgence of new temple-mosque disputes and asserted that certain individuals, after the construction of Ayodhya's Ram Temple, seem to believe they can become "leaders of Hindus" by raking up such issues.
