The caller, who identified himself as ‘Rocky Bhai’, claimed that he was from Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district and worked as a cow protector. “In a call received at Police Control Room yesterday, a man who identified himself as Roki Bhai from Rajasthan’s Jodhpur threatened to kill actor Salman Khan on April 30,” the Mumbai Police confirmed in the statement.
Notably, this is not the first time that the actor is receiving death threats. Earlier in March 2023, the actor had received a threatening email after which the Police increased his security. A complaint was filed against Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldie Brar and Rohit Brar under ICS sections 506 (2), 120 (B), and 34.
The email was sent from a Mohit Garg’s id, in which it was written that Goldie wanted to talk to Salman Khan. After the email, the Mumbai Police arrested Ram Bishnoi from Jodhpur’s Luni area in the case.
