The police in Mumbai are reportedly extraditing an Indian student residing in the UK over charges of sending death threats to Bollywood actor Salman Khan.
According to reports, the police in India’s financial capital which is also home to the country’s Hindi film industry, have issued a look-out notice for the student besides initiating the extradition process under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the UK.
The suspect has been identified as a third-year medical student from the northern Indian state of Haryana, Firstpost reported.
Bandra Police has refused to release his identity, it added.
The report also said that the threats were allegedly conveyed in a letter to Prashant Gunjalkar, one of the 57-year-old actor’s close friends, two months ago.
The police said the suspect wrote jailed gangster Goldy Brar’s name in the letter as the sender. Brar has several crimes registered in his name besides that of assassinating Punjabi singer-songwriter-turned-politician Sidhu Moosewala in May last year.
As per the police, the email threat looked like a joke at first glance, something the sender issued after reading news reports.
Khan and his family have received several threats in the names of gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar, but all of them turned out to be hoaxes.
The police have ruled out any connection of death threats with them, the Firstpost report added.
In March, police had arrested a man named Dhakad Ram from Jodhpur in the north-western state of Rajasthan over similar charges.
