Posted on November 11, 2024 by News Desk

In a shocking development, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly become the target of a recent threat, with an anonymous caller demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh and issuing a life-threatening warning. The incident has left fans and the industry concerned for the beloved actor’s safety.
The unsettling call was made to the Bandra Police Station’s landline, prompting authorities to launch a swift investigation. Upon tracing the call, officials discovered that it originated from a phone belonging to Faizan Khan, a resident of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. A team of investigators has already been dispatched to Raipur to apprehend the suspect.
Although Shah Rukh Khan’s team has not yet filed an official complaint, the case has been registered under specific sections of the Bombay National Security Act (BNS), with police actively working to resolve the situation.
This incident marks the latest in a disturbing pattern of threats directed at Bollywood’s top stars. Recently, Salman Khan, known for his role in Dabangg, has faced a series of death threats. Just last month, a threatening message demanding Rs 20 million was sent to Mumbai Police’s Traffic Helpline for the actor’s safety. Salman and his father, Salim Khan, have previously been targeted, with links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly involved in multiple threats. Earlier this year, two assailants fired gunshots outside his Mumbai home, further heightening security concerns around the star.
As fans rally in support of Shah Rukh Khan, this situation underscores the growing security challenges celebrities face in today’s world. Authorities are hopeful that the prompt response and ongoing investigation will bring the suspect to justice and prevent any further escalation.
