Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi have been at odds for a long time. Salman reportedly hunted two blackbucks in 1998, an act that the Bishnoi community finds deeply disrespectful. Amid the ongoing legal proceedings, the Bishnoi community remains determined to seek revenge for the actor's actions.

In recent months, Salman Khan has been the victim of many threats and attacks, including a gunshot incident outside his Bandra house in April, all planned by the Bishnoi gang.

Salman Khan's Security

A large number of police officers are now stationed outside Salman Khan's apartment, Galaxy Apartments, as a result of the increasing threats. Salman Khan has also been assigned Y+ security due to the increasing threats and the Mumbai Police have installed high-resolution CCTV cameras with face recognition technologies that are driven by artificial intelligence as part of their expanded security measures. Recently, it was reported that Salman is shooting for ‘Bigg Boss 18’ with more than 60 security personnel.
