Gunshots were also fired outside Salman Khan’s Mumbai apartment last year, following which, the actor’s security was stepped up.
Salman Khan will soon be seen in Sikandar.
Salman Khan has reacted to getting death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. On Wednesday, the Bollywood superstar was promoting his upcoming movie Sikandar in Mumbai, when he interacted with the media and answered if he is scared because of the multiple death threats he received last year.
Salman mentioned how his security has been tightened and admitted that it is not easy to be surrounded by so many security personnel all the time. “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai. Kabhi kabhi itne logon ko saath mein leke chalna padta hai, bas wohi problem ho jaati hai,” the actor said.
For the unversed, in April 2024, gunshots were fired outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post. After the shocking incident, Salman’s security was upgraded.
Later in July, Salman Khan also recorded his statement in connection to the house firing case when he claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was trying to kill him.
“I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment’s first-floor balcony. There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learnt that Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the attack from social media. So, I believe that it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing on my balcony,” Salman Khan told the anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch.
“Earlier also, Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang members in an interview talked about killing me and my relatives. So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping inside and planning to kill me and my family members so they carried out the attack,” the actor added.
