BOLLYWOOD actor Salman Khan has allegedly received a death threat again along with a demand of ₹20 million (£182,939.82) following which the Mumbai police have registered a case, an official on Wednesday.

The Mumbai traffic police on Tuesday received an anonymous message, threatening the actor would be killed if he did not pay up, the official said.

The police registered a first information report (FIR) against an unidentified person and begun investigation, he added.

Earlier this month, the Mumbai traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline desk received a threat message demanding ₹50 million (£457,349.55) from the actor.

The police have arrested a man from Jamshedpur in this connection.

The Mumbai police on Monday arrested a man from Noida in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly issuing a death threat to Salman Khan and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique.

Notably, Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Suspected members of the gang had opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April this year.

A few months ago, the Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Khan, leading to security enhancement for the actor. (PTI)
