Mumbai Police has detained a 16-year-old boy from neighboring Thane district for calling the police control room and allegedly threatening to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

An inquiry is being conducted to find out the boy’s motive behind threatening the 57-year-old actor, he said.
The Mumbai Police had beefed up security after Salman Khan received a threatening e-mail last month, which led to the police earlier registering an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar.
The ‘Dabangg’ actor was earlier provided Y-plus category security by the police and was accompanied by his personal security guards in a bullet-proof car.
Last month, the Bandra police here registered an FIR against three persons – gangsters Bishnoi, Brar and one Rohit – for allegedly sending a threatening e-mail to Salman Khan’s office.
Bishnoi and Goldie Brar, currently in jail in Punjab, are accused of murdering singer Sidhu Moozwala.
Notably, in June 2022, an unknown person threatened Salman Khan through a handwritten note.
