The unsettling encounter occurred in Bandra, where Salim Khan was enjoying his routine stroll when a man and a burqa-clad woman approached him on a scooter. Eyewitnesses report that the woman brazenly asked, “Should I send Lawrence Bishnoi?” This alarming remark prompted Salim Khan’s bodyguard to quickly alert the authorities.
Mumbai Police acted swiftly on the complaint, leading to the arrest of the duo shortly after the incident. In a statement, the police revealed that during interrogation, the pair claimed they were “just having fun.” However, their idea of fun has led to serious repercussions.
The incident adds to the recent security concerns surrounding the Khan family. Just days earlier, Salman Khan’s convoy was followed by a 21-year-old man, raising alarm among his security team. The man attempted to get close to Salman’s car late at night, prompting swift intervention from the star’s guards and the police stationed nearby.
As the investigation unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the pressures faced by public figures and their families. While the police have apprehended the suspects, the implications of their actions continue to ripple through the community, highlighting the ongoing challenges of celebrity life in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai.
