New Delhi: The Maharashtra Home Department boosted actor Salman Khan's security on Monday after he and his father, scriptwriter Salim Khan, received an anonymous threat letter the day before. After the letter was discovered, Mumbai Police filed a FIR against unknown people on Sunday, news agency ANI reported.
“Maharashtra Home Department strengthens actor Salman Khan's security after a threat letter was sent to him and his father Salim Khan yesterday, June 5,” news agency ANI tweeted on Monday. After the letter was discovered on Sunday, Mumbai Police informed the agency that an investigation was underway.
"Salim Khan follows a morning routine where he goes for a walk on the promenade accompanied by his security personnel. There's a location where he typically takes a break. A chit had been left behind on a bench," a police official acquainted with the case was quoted by TOI in its report.
Salim's security team discovered the chit and handed it over to him. According to the report, the chit stated, "Moosa Wale jaisa kar dunga (Will make you like Moose Wala)."
The Bandstand area's CCTV video is also being examined by police. Last month, Sidhu Moose Wala was killed in Punjab.
Salman returned to Mumbai on Sunday after attending the IIFA Awards 2022 in Abu Dhabi. The event, which took place on Saturday, was hosted by Salman, Riteish Deshmukh, and Maniesh Paul. The actor was also present.
