Salman Khan has been facing a lot of death threats, more so, since the demise of his good friend and politician Baba Siddique. While some of these threats are allegedly from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang as they want to take revenge from him after the ‘Blackbuck’ case. However, now, many are randomly giving death threats to him, just in the name of Lawrence, either to gain some publicity or earn money.

A few days ago, Khan had received a death threat asking for an amount of Rs 5 crore. But the police has now arrested the accused. He’s allegedly just a 24-year old song writer who was caught by the police on November 12. He was just making threats on Lawrence’s name.

The Crime Branch arrested this songwriter whose name is Sohail Pasha, from Raichur in Karnataka. He had allegedly sent those threats to popularise the songs written by him.

According to NDTV, a special warning was made for the songwriter that read, “The songwriter’s condition will be such that he will no longer be able to write songs. If Salman Khan has the courage, he should save them.” Now, The Indian Express reported that the arrested young man, Pasha, is the lyricist of a song in Salman’s upcoming film and did this for publicity.

Meanwhile, at the moment, Salman has been unbothered by these death threats and has continued shooting and fulfilling his work commitments. At the moment, he’s shooting for Sikandar in Hyderabad.

Mumbai Police on Tuesday arrested a budding songwriter for allegedly sending threatening messages to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and demanding 5 crore from him in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, an official said.

Arrest made in recent threat case

Sohail Pasha, held from Raichur in Karnataka, wanted a song written by him to become famous and used this ploy for the purpose, police claimed. The WhatsApp helpline of Mumbai traffic police on November 7 received multiple messages stating that the sender was a member of the Bishnoi gang, and Salman Khan would be killed if he did not pay 5 crore. They would also kill the writer of the song Main Sikandar Hun, the sender warned.

What happened

The crime branch of Mumbai Police tracked down the mobile number from which the messages had come to Raichur. Accordingly, a team was sent to Karnataka and Vyankatesh Narayan, who owned the number, was interrogated, the official said. But Narayan’s mobile phone had no Internet facility, he said. Police then found that his phone had received a WhatsApp installation OTP.

Narayan told police that on November 3, a stranger approached him in a marketplace and asked if he could have Narayan’s phone for making a call. Probe revealed that the man had installed WhatsApp on his own mobile by using Narayan’s mobile number to obtain an OTP, the official said. The crime branch team then zeroed in on Pasha at Manavi village near Raichur.

He turned out to be the writer of Main Sikandar Hun song mentioned in the threat, the official said, adding that he wanted to make the song famous and hence used this ploy of including it in a threat message to a famous person. Pasha was brought to Mumbai and handed over to Worli police for further probe, the official said. The traffic police helpline has received at least four threat messages for Salman Khan in the recent months.
