Mumbai crime branch detains brother of shooting suspect in Salman Khan case
In the aftermath of the shooting outside Salman Khan's home, Mumbai's Crime Branch detains the brother of the prime suspect, prompting further scrutiny into the incident.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been issued a death threat by a Rajasthan based gangster, Lawrence Bishnoi, recently. He said, “Salman Khan will be killed here, in Jodhpur… Then he will come to know about our real identity.”
The threat was in the context of the two-decade-old blackbuck poaching case, as the Lawrence belongs to the Bishnoi community who worship the animal. The actor received the threats a day after he reached Jodhpur for the hearing of the case. However, he is not fully safe even in Mumbai now. On Tuesday, three men entered the sets of ‘Race 3’ in Film city, Salman’s upcoming movie, supposedly to hurt him, as per a report in the Mumbai Mirror. The police sensed the danger and warned the actor about the situation due to which he canceled the shooting and left.
According to media reports, “The police arrived at the Race 3 set in Film City and told Salman and producer Ramesh Taurani that the shoot needs to be stopped immediately as the actor needed to head home as soon as possible. Salman was escorted in another car by six cops, while his own car was driven back to his residence by another group of cops.” Police have updated that along with Bishnoi, three other men are also planning to kill him and vandalize the film sets. Salman Khan has been provided extra security after the trail of incidents that have been happening.

A senior police officer said, “This is not the first time a threat has been issued against Salman or a member of his family, and the actor is often spotted about town without security or even his bodyguard, Shera, but anticipating an unprecedented attack, he has been asked to be extra safe.”
Salman Khan has been avoiding his cycling sessions since then and will not be updating anything on the social media platforms too.
