Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has become the latest celebrity to receive a threat call, prompting an investigation by Mumbai Police. A case against an unidentified person was registered at Bandra Police Station on Thursday.
Police investigations have traced the threatening call to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, where officials are searching for a suspect, Faizan Khan. According to sources, the caller demanded a substantial ransom amount, threatening to harm the actor if the payment wasn’t made.
After Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan gets a threat call
This incident follows a similar threat received by actor Salman Khan from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In Salman’s case, the gang reportedly demanded Rs 5 crore as ransom.
The Bishnoi gang has previously targeted Salman Khan over allegations related to the blackbuck poaching case.
The Mumbai Police are treating both cases with utmost seriousness, given the high-profile nature of the targets and the recent increase in celebrity threats. Law enforcement officials have launched a comprehensive investigation and are working to apprehend the suspects.
No public statements from Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan, who recently starred in the blockbuster film ‘Jawan,’ has not made any public statement regarding the threat. The police have not disclosed whether additional security measures have been implemented for the actor’s protection.
The investigation is ongoing, with police teams coordinating across state lines to track down the suspects and ensure the safety of both actors.
