After Ranveer Singh, Salman Khan’s Close Associate Gets Threatening Email Demanding Crores - DEETS

Two Bollywood figures linked to Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh have recently faced separate threats, with messages demanding crores of rupees and alleged links to the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang, prompting heightened security measures and fresh investigations by the Mumbai Crime Branch, according to police.

Police teams are now checking possible gang activity around several film personalities, and officers are tracking mobile phone locations near celebrity residences, while Mumbai Police sources say vigilance has been increased across sensitive areas, yet some targeted individuals have not filed formal complaints so far.

Salman Khan Lawrence Bishnoi gang threat linked to email to close associate

A close associate of Salman Khan, who works in the film industry, recently received a threatening email that demanded crores of rupees and claimed links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with the message sparking a probe by the Mumbai Crime Branch into possible extortion attempts targeting people around the actor.

According to IANS, investigators are examining technical details of the email and trying to trace its origin, while police sources say that despite the seriousness of the threat and the wider scrutiny of gang activity, neither Salman Khan nor the associate has lodged a formal First Information Report yet.

Salman Khan Lawrence Bishnoi gang threat background from 1998 blackbuck case

The tensions between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi gang date back to 1998, when during the shoot of Hum Saath Saath Hain, the actor reportedly joined a hunting trip in which a blackbuck, considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, was allegedly killed, a moment that later became central to gang threats.

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently in jail, later made public statements about the episode and declared that it was the mission of life either to force Salman Khan to apologise for the alleged blackbuck hunting incident or to kill the actor, giving long-term context to current security concerns.

On Tuesday, February 10, Ranveer Singh received a WhatsApp voice note that demanded crores of rupees as ransom, police said, and investigators now suspect that members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang may be linked to the audio threat, which appears to have extortion as its main purpose.

Following the message to Ranveer Singh, who is 40 years old, Mumbai Police deployed additional security personnel outside the actor’s residence and began tracing the origin of the voice note, while Ranveer Singh’s recent work includes the blockbuster Dhurandhar, which raised the public profile of the case.

Salman Khan Lawrence Bishnoi gang threat amid Rohit Shetty shooting probe

The latest threats emerged soon after gunshots were fired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s house in Juhu, Mumbai, and on February 1 the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed credit for that attack in a social media post, leading the Mumbai Crime Branch to open a formal investigation into the shooting incident and related gang claims.

Taken together, the email to Salman Khan’s associate, the WhatsApp voice threat to Ranveer Singh and the earlier firing outside Rohit Shetty’s residence have prompted a broader police examination of possible coordinated extortion attempts linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, while officers continue surveillance and investigative work around Mumbai’s film community.
