Mumbai/IBNS: The man behind the latest threat to actor Salman Khan, in which he demanded Rs. 5 crores to end the actors enmity with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has now apologised in a new message saying he had made a mistake.
On October 18, the Mumbai Police received a WhatsApp message where a warning has been given that if the money is not paid, Salmans fate will be worse than that of Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead in Mumbai last Saturday.
Dont take this lightly. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ? 5 crore. If the money is not given, his condition will be worse than Baba Siddiquis, the message read.
Salmans security was further heightened after the fresh threat.
The actor, who was a close friend of Baba Siddique, had his security escalated after the politicians murder. Salman is also not allowing anyone inside his residence now.
After Siddiques murder, one of the Bishnoi gang members shared a post on Facebook where he hinted at Siddiques close ties with Salman and links to underworld people that cost him his life.
On the night of April 14, gunfire shook Mumbais Bandra neighbourhood when two men on motorbikes fired multiple rounds outside Salman Khans residence.
The attackers, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, were charged with conspiracy to murder and other serious crimes.
The Navi Mumbai Police chargesheet, which names five people, indicates that the contract was given by a gang led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, reported NDTV.
Around 60 to 70 people were reportedly monitoring Salman Khans movements, particularly at his Bandra residence, Panvel farmhouse, and Goregaon Film City.
