Indian gangster openly threatens to kill Salman Khan

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was recently spotted visiting the courts of Jodhpur, Rajasthan for the hearing of his longest run blackbuck poaching case. However, on his visit, a Punjab based alleged gangster threatened to kill Salman.

‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor already has a lot on his plate, as Salman is working on a number of projects including shooting for his upcoming movie ‘Race 3’ opposite Jacqueline Fernandez and also appearing every week on the controversial reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss 11’ as a host.

In addition to all this, Salman has been dealing with the legal trouble with this almost 18-year-old case of blackbuck poaching case. The actor was in Jodhpur on January 4 for the hearing of the same case, when a local gangster Lawrence Bishnoi came out out of nowhere and openly threatened to kill Salman.

According to Indian media, Lawrence is currently in jail for a murder of a businessman and has a number of extortion cases against him and was at the court for one of those hearings when he started to threatened Salman.

Lawrence told the media,"I have not done anything till now, the police have been framing me unnecessarily," he claimed. “I will murder him [Salman] in Jodhpur only. I will flee from police custody whenever I want but I am not escaping from custody anytime soon. Now, if the police want me to do some major crime, I shall kill Salman and that too in Jodhpur,” he added.

The notorious gangster is making all these threats as he belongs to the same community that had brought up the black buck hunting case, and ever since then the community considers Salman as "villain".

Reacting to his comments, police commissioner Ashok Rathore said, "We are aware of the gangster's intentions to kill Salman, but we have already made security arrangements with regard to the actor's safety," PinkVilla reported.

Meanwhile, Salman is currently celebrating the success of his recently released movie ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ opposite Katrina Kaif that has already earned nearly INR 300 crores.
