Salman Khan has received multiple death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, apparently due to his involvement in the blackbuck hunting case in Rajasthan during the shooting of the Bollywood movie Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Suspected members of the gang had also opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April. The actor’s security has been heightened following a string of death threats.
