Lawrence Bishnoi new threats: Salman Khan resumes Bigg Boss 18 shoot with 60 guards

Amid rising security concerns from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has resumed filming for the latest season of Bigg Boss, with heightened precautions in place.

The crew is under strict orders to remain on-site until the filming wraps up, ensuring that everyone is accounted for amidst the intense security measures.

Meanwhile, more than 60 guards are present to monitor the area, and access to the compound is tightly controlled.

Earlier, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received another threatening message from the Lawrence Bishnoi group, demanding ₹50 million ($602,410) to end their feud.

The latest threat, sent via WhatsApp, cautioned that if the payment is not made, Khan's fate "will be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui." Mumbai police are verifying the message's authenticity.

This is not the first time Salman Khan has faced threats from the Bishnoi gang. Previously he received threats in 2022. A threatening letter was found near his residence

In March 2023, Salman Khan received alleged email from gang members and in January 2024: attempted break-in at Khan's Panvel farmhouse

Security around Khan's Bandra residence has been increased.

In another development, women's rights activist and Salman Khan's former girlfriend, Somi Ali, invited Lawrence Bishnoi to a Zoom call via social media.

"Namaste, Lawrence bhai! I've heard and seen that you are making Zoom calls from jail, so I have a few things to discuss with you. Please let me know how this is possible?"

Bishnoi, currently imprisoned in Sabarmati Jail, has repeatedly threatened Salman Khan.

The Mumbai police are investigating the matter.
