A man who threatened Salman Khan through the Mumbai Traffic Police using the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has been arrested.
The police confirmed the arrest in Jamshedpur, according to Indian media.
“The accused threatened the Bollywood actor by invoking gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and demanded a ransom of Rs five crore from Salman Khan,” revealed the Mumbai Traffic Police.
The police registered a case against an unknown person and launched an investigation after receiving the threatening message.
The message was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police control room on October 18. By October 21, the police received an apology from the man, stating that “the message was sent in error.”
Police traced the message sender’s location to Jharkhand, where he claimed to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and warned of a threat to Salman Khan’s life if he did not pay the extortion.
