Is Salman Khan Under Threat From Sidhu Moose Wala Murder Accused Lawrence Bishnoi?

New Delhi: With Lawrence Bishnoi emerging as the key accused in Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder, superstar Salman Khan’s security has been beefed up in Mumbai. Timesnownews.com reported that the Bollywood actor’s security has been tightened analysing the threat levels.

“We have enhanced the overall security of Salman Khan. Police will be present around his apartment to make sure no nefarious activity is done by the gang from Rajasthan,” Hindustan Times quoted a senior police officer as saying.

For the unversed, Salman Khan was once on the radar of Lawrence Bishnoi. In 2018, one of Bishnoi’s aides was arrested after he threatened to kill the Tiger 3 actor in relation to the blackbuck killing case. Bishnois believe that blackbucks are sacred animals and therefore Salman was threatened by the gangster.

Bishnoi was reported to have said outside a court in 2018 that he will kill Salman Khan in Jodhpur. “Everyone will know once we take action. I have not done anything as of now, they are accusing me of crimes for no reason,” Bishnoi said, Timesnownews.com quoted.

Bishnoi’s gang took responsibility for Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder in Punjab’s Mansa district on Sunday. “Today, Moose Wala was killed in Punjab, I, Sachin Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi take the responsibility. It’s our work. Moose Wala’s name surfaced in our brother Vikramjit Singh Middukhera and Gurlal Brar’s murder, but the Punjab Police did not take any action against him. We also came to know that Moose Wala was also involved in the encounter of our associate Ankit Bhadu. Moose Wala was working against us. Delhi Police had taken his name but Moose Wala used his political power and saved his skin each time,” one of the gang members wrote in a Facebook statement.
