Mumbai Police Receive Threatening Call Against Shah Rukh Khan, Rs 50 Lakh Ransom Demanded
Mumbai police have received a threatening call targeting Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, with the caller demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh.

The police have questioned Faizan Khan in connection with the threat.

He further stated that he had reported the theft to authorities and suggested that the thief may have used his phone to issue the threat to the actor. Investigations are ongoing.
Shah Rukh Khan Faces Fresh Death Threat, Security Heightened Again
This isn’t the first time Shah Rukh Khan has been targeted with a death threat. In October of the previous year, the actor received a similar threat, prompting authorities to raise his security to the Y+ level. This heightened protection includes six armed personnel who accompany him around the clock, up from the previous two armed guards.
The latest threat to the *Jawan* star comes just days after another high-profile Bollywood figure, Salman Khan, was also targeted. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been targeting Salman over his alleged involvement in the killing of a blackbuck, issued a threat demanding that the actor either visit a temple to apologize or pay a ransom of Rs 5 crore.
