Shah Rukh Khan Faces Death Threat Amid Rising Security Concerns
The threatening call was received on November 5, 2024, around 1:20 PM
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has become the latest target of a death threat, following a troubling trend in the industry.
According to the Indian media reports, the threat to the Bollywood superstar, which involved a demand for ₹50 lakh (approximately $60,000), was made via a phone call to the Bandra Police in Mumbai from Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
The threatening call was received on November 5, 2024, around 1:20 PM.
As reported, the police traced the call back to a person identified as Faizan’s mobile number and are currently investigating his claims that his phone was stolen before making the call.
The Mumbai Police have registered a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) related to threats and extortion, and investigations are ongoing to determine whether this incident is isolated or part of a larger conspiracy targeting Bollywood figures.
This alarming incident comes just weeks after fellow actor Salman Khan received similar threats from criminal elements, raising serious concerns about the safety of high-profile celebrities in India. As investigations unfold, authorities are intensifying security measures for both actors to ensure their protection amidst these threats.
Salman Khan has been particularly targeted by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has issued multiple threats against him recently.
