(MENAFN- Live Mint) Days after Baba Siddique's murder, the bollywood actor Salman Khan is under radar amid new death threats. The actor's safety and security became a major cause of concern after the NCP leader and Salman Khan's friend was brutally murdered on October 12 night.
The Big Boss 18 host has been on the radar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for quite some time now and is taking his safety and security very seriously after fresh death threats surfaced. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for Baba Siddique's murder following the attack. Consequently, Salman Khan's security has been beefed up along with an addition of a bulletproof vehicle to his fleet of cars.

The death threat received on Mumbai Police's WhatsApp stated,“Don't take it lightly, if Salman Khan wants to stay alive and wants to end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, then he will have to pay ₹5 crore. If the money is not given, Salman Khan's condition will be worse than Baba Siddique,” reported ANI.
The Dabangg actor bought a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV worth ₹2 crore and is making arrangements to ship it from Dubai, according to Bollywood Society report. The urgent need to import the car to India will also carry a hefty amount, since the car is not available in the Indian market.
