Sender of threat message seeking Rs 5 cr from Salman Khan now apologises
Mumbai (PTI): The Mumbai traffic police have received an apology from a mobile phone number which was earlier used to send a threat message demanding Rs 5 crore from Bollywood actor Salman Khan, officials said on Tuesday.
The apology message was received on the WhatsApp helpline of the traffic police on Monday, an official said without elaborating.
During the probe, it was confirmed that the apology was sent from the same mobile number which had been used for sending the threat message, he said.
The city’s traffic control room on Thursday received the Rs 5 crore threat message on its WhatsApp helpline, police earlier said.
The sender had also said the threat should not be taken lightly, they said.
A case was subsequently registered at Worli police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for threat and extortion.
The superstar had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Bishnoi gang members also opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April this year, as per police.
A few months back, the Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Khan.

Karnataka HM G Parameshwara blames EVM for Cong debacle in Maharashtra, backs ballot papers
BENGALURU: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Monday alleged Electronic Voting Machine manipulations led to the defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in just concluded assembly polls in Maharashtra.
While speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said the BJP does selective manipulations to convince people that there were no wrongdoings. He also wanted to go back to the paper ballots system.
The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra won a landslide victory in the assembly elections, shattering the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's dream to wrest power. The BJP won the highest ever 132 seats for the party, while the Shiv Sena led by Shinde bagged 57 seats and NCP won 41 seats to take the Mahayuti total to 230 seats. Congress as part of MVA won just 16 seats.

"We analysed the Maharashtra poll outcome deeply. We felt that in many places EVMs were manipulated," Parameshwara said. He also said an obvious question would be why not it happened in Jharkhand and elsewhere. The manipulations are done selectively so that no one can question it, he blamed.
According to him, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a leading partner. Had the Congress been the leading partner, things would have changed. He backed the ballot papers saying that the same was discussed in Maharashtra Congress as well.
