Shah Rukh Khan death threat: Police question a Raipur lawyer who is friends with Bishnoi community

On Thursday, we reported that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan received a death threat. A call was made on Tuesday, threatening the actor's life if a sum of Rs 50 lakhs wasn't paid. An FIR was registered at Mumbai's Bandra Police Station and the cops immediately started investigating the matter. The threat to SRK was made just a few days before Salman Khan received similar threats.

The Mumbai Police didn't waste any time and decided to trace the number, which showed the threat call for Shah Rukh Khan was made from Jaipur. Upon further investigation, they traced the call to a lawyer in Raipur, named Faizan Khan. A team of cops arrived in Raipur and tracked down Faizan. However, Khan informed the police that he wasn't the one who made the call. The lawyer's phone was stolen recently.

As reported by Hindustan Times, Faizan Khan said that his phone was stolen on November 2, 2024, and he even lodged a complaint. He told the Mumbai Police about the same. The cops interrogated the lawyer for at least 2 hours. He said, "Whoever has made a call from my phone, it seems intentional. I think it is a conspiracy against me." The cops are now on the lookout to trace the man who actually made the threat call. Further in this entertainment news, what's startling is that Faizan had earlier filed a complaint against Shah Rukh Khan for his dialogue on deer hunting in the 1994 movie Anjaam.

Earlier, Faizan told PTI that he hails from Rajasthan and the Bishnoi community is his friend. Faizan stated that it is in their religion to protect a deer. Hence, if a Muslim says something about the animal, it is commendable. That is why he raised an objection against SRK for the movie dialogue.
