“Nirmal Nagar police” स्टेशन के एक अधिकारी के अनुसार, "आरोपी ने पहले “MLA Zeeshan Siddique's” हेल्पलाइन नंबर पर एक धमकी भरा संदेश भेजा और बाद में उसी पर एक वॉयस कॉल की, जिसमें उसने सिद्धिक और अभिनेता “Salman Khan” को जान से मारने की धमकी दी। यह घटना शुक्रवार को हुई।"
पिछले हफ्ते, मुंबई पुलिस ने “Jamshedpur” से एक व्यक्ति को गिरफ्तार किया था जिसने गैंगस्टर “Lawrence Bishnoi” के नाम पर “Salman Khan” को धमकी दी थी और ₹5 करोड़ की फिरौती की मांग की थी।
The issue of celebrity safety is not new in India. With the rise of social media and increased public attention on high-profile individuals, threats of this nature have become more frequent. However, this particular incident involving Salman Khan highlights a disturbing trend in which criminals and gangsters target celebrities, either for personal gain or to intimidate them.
Salman Khan, known for his philanthropic work through his Being Human Foundation and his massive fan following, is an iconic figure in the Indian film industry. However, his rise to superstardom has also attracted the attention of those with malicious intent. The involvement of gangster groups, like Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, adds a dangerous element to the situation. The fact that such individuals can threaten the lives of celebrities with such ease raises questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement in curbing organized crime.
The recent arrest of the 20-year-old individual from Uttar Pradesh who threatened Salman Khan and MLA Zeeshan Siddique is a step in the right direction. The authorities have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety of public figures by swiftly acting upon the threat. The police have charged the individual with sending a threatening message and making a voice call in which he demanded money in exchange for Salman Khan’s safety. This person’s actions are not just a criminal offense but also an assault on the security of the public and public figures alike.
Given that Salman Khan has been a target of gangsters in the past, it is crucial for both the actor and the authorities to take extra precautions. The law enforcement agencies must continue to enhance security around high-profile individuals, ensuring that they can go about their lives without fear of harm or intimidation. Salman Khan’s recent experiences emphasize the importance of strong security measures in the entertainment industry, and it is high time that more stringent actions be taken to ensure the safety of celebrities.
In conclusion, while Salman Khan continues to be one of the most loved and respected figures in Indian cinema, his safety should never be taken for granted. This recent threat is a reminder of the darker side of fame and the need for heightened vigilance and protective measures for celebrities, both from criminals and the growing influence of gangster networks.
