Mumbai traffic police receive threat against Salman Khan, case registered under criminal intimidation, investigation ongoing.
The Mumbai traffic police have got a message threatening Bollywood actor Salman Khan and registered a case in this connection, officials said on Monday (April 14, 2025).
In the message, received on the traffic police's WhatsApp helpline on Sunday (April 13, 2025), the sender threatened to blow up the actor's car and also thrash him by entering his residence, a police official said.
An official posted at the traffic police control room then alerted seniors about the message, based on which the Worli police here registered a case against the unidentified person under section 351(2) (3) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, he said.
A probe is on into the case, the official added.
The traffic police helpline has received many threat messages targeting the 59-year-old actor in the recent past.
Mr. Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
While Bishnoi is lodged in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati jail in cases including attempted murder and extortion, suspected members of his gang opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April last year.

Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Pralhad Joshi said the Pakistan-instigated terrorists attacked innocent tourists visiting Pahalgam. For many years, the nation had been the victim of terrorist attacks. In recent years, the terror activities had come down due to effective measures of the Central Government. “The local people of J&K were happy with the recent developments. However, terrorists have attacked again. We will give them a fitting reply,” he said.
