Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has received a death threat, prompting Mumbai Police to register a case. The threat, which came via a phone call, was traced back to Raipur city of the Indian Chhattisgarh state.
Mumbai Police have identified the accused as Faizan, a resident of Raipur, and are coordinating with local authorities to bring him to Mumbai for questioning.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are working to determine whether this is an isolated incident or part of a larger conspiracy.
This latest threat comes amid a series of threats against fellow actor Salman Khan, further heightening concerns over the safety of high-profile celebrities in the industry.
Police officials have confirmed that Faizan's details were traced after a thorough investigation into the threatening phone call.
The police are leaving no stone unturned, having already informed Raipur police about the situation.
However, Raipur SSP Santosh Kumar Singh has stated that he has not received an official notification about the threat from Mumbai Police yet.
The Bandra Police have registered an FIR under several sections of the Indian Penal Code.
Faizan is expected to be taken into custody soon, and authorities will conduct an interrogation upon his transfer to Mumbai.
This is not the first time Shahrukh Khan has received death threats. In the past, he has been on the radar of underworld elements, and threats against him are not uncommon.
Last October, following the success of his films Pathaan and Jawaan, Khan received similar threats, leading to the Maharashtra Police providing him with Y+ security for his protection.
As investigations continue, the police are working to ensure the safety of the actor while delving deeper into the motives behind the threat.
