Salman Khan made his first public appearance after the reported attack on actor Tiger Shroff, arriving at a private airport in Mumbai on Tuesday morning under heightened security. Armed officers from the Special Protection Unit accompanied the Bollywood star amid renewed concerns over threats against him and a warning circulated in an unverified voice message following the October 18 incident.
Salman Khan’s Security Tightened Amid Fresh Threats
According to reports, Salman was surrounded by a larger-than-usual security team, with armed personnel seen accompanying him at the airport. The heightened security comes amid repeated threats allegedly issued by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associates.
An unverified voice message circulating after the incident involving Tiger Shroff reportedly named Salman Khan while threatening people in the Mumbai film industry who work with the actor or refuse to follow the group's demands.
In the message, the speakers claimed responsibility for the incident, named Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, and alleged that Tiger had previously been warned. The authenticity of the recording and the claims made in it have not been independently established.
Eknath Shinde Promises Security Review After Tiger Shroff Incident
The reported attack on Tiger Shroff on October 18 has raised concern across the film industry. Three people have been detained in connection with the incident.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde met Tiger at his residence and promised that security arrangements for celebrities would be reviewed. The increased security around Salman appears to come amid these concerns, although no official confirmation linking the airport deployment directly to the review was cited in the report.
Salman Khan’s Residence Was Targeted in 2024
Salman has faced threats linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the past. In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside his residence, Galaxy Apartments, in Mumbai. The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the shooting.
Later that year, Baba Siddique, a politician and close friend of Salman, was shot dead in October. A subsequent Mumbai Police chargesheet stated that Siddique’s close association with the actor could have been a factor in his killing.
The latest incident involving Tiger Shroff and the unverified threat message have once again drawn attention to security concerns surrounding prominent figures in the Hindi film industry.
