Actor Salman Khan received yet another death threat, this time from a mentally unstable 26-year-old man traced to Waghodia taluka in Vadodara district, Gujarat, Mumbai police confirmed on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
What Was the Threat Against Salman Khan?
According to police sources, the Mumbai Traffic Police’s WhatsApp helpline received a threatening message on Sunday, April 13. The message claimed the sender would:
-
Blow up Salman Khan’s car with a bomb
-
Enter his residence and assault him
This led to the Worli Police registering a case under Section 351(2)(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with criminal intimidation. In response, security was tightened outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartments residence in Mumbai’s Bandra area.
