Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received a fresh death threat via a message sent to the official WhatsApp number of the Worli Transport Department, an official said on Monday. The threat comes exactly a year after two unidentified men on a motorbike fired four gunshots at his Bandra residence.
Worli police registered a case over the fresh threat to the actor and upgraded the security arrangement outside his house in the multi-storey Galaxy Apartments, the official said.
According to the threat message, an attempt would be made to kill the actor by storming his house in Galaxy Apartments or targeting his car with explosives.
This is the latest in a series of threats and attacks aimed at the Bollywood star, especially after he was convicted in the 1998 Blackbuck shooting case.
