The Bollywood community and fans of superstar Shah Rukh Khan are in shock after news surfaced that he received a death threat. Reportedly, the accused caller is Faizan Khan, who allegedly disconnected the call after threatening Shah Rukh.
However, a new twist has emerged. Faizan Khan, accused of threatening Shah Rukh, has spoken to Aajtak claiming his phone was stolen on November 2.
The accused explains
According to reports, the Mumbai police quickly traced the threatening call made to Shah Rukh to Raipur. Upon reaching Raipur for investigation, the police interviewed Faizan Khan, who revealed that his phone was stolen five days prior.
What was said in the threat to Shah Rukh?
According to information received, a threat call directed at Shah Rukh Khan was made to Bandra Police on November 5, at 1:21 PM. The caller stated, 'Shah Rukh Khan, who resides at Mannat, Band Stand... If he doesn’t pay me 50 lakh rupees, I will kill him.' When the police asked the caller for their identity, the response was, 'It doesn’t matter what my name is... If you must write it, note me as Hindustani.'
Salman has been receiving threats earlier
This revelation has shocked Bollywood and his fans as it came to light that superstar Shah Rukh Khan has received a death threat. The call was made to the Bandra police station in Mumbai, notably where Shah Rukh also resides.
Last month, politician Baba Siddique was shot and killed in Mumbai. The notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang claimed responsibility for the incident via a social media post. Consequently, security for superstar Salman Khan, who was not only a friend of Siddique but also had an old rivalry with Bishnoi, was heightened.
Since October, Salman has received threats on two different occasions, resulting in arrests. The Bollywood industry was already concerned about the threats to Salman, and now the shocking case of Shah Rukh being threatened is under investigation by the Mumbai police.
