Salman Khan’s security beefed up by Mumbai Police after receiving second death threat in 10 days: Report

Salman Khan’s security beefed up by Mumbai Police after receiving second death threat in 10 days: Report

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again become the target of threats, this time from an alleged member of the notorious Bishnoi gang. The latest threat, delivered via WhatsApp to the Mumbai traffic control room, demands a hefty sum of Rs. 5 crores or a visit to a Bishnoi temple in Rajasthan. This is the second such threat in ten days, prompting heightened security measures for the actor.

The Bishnoi community, known for its reverence for the blackbuck, has a long-standing animosity towards Salman Khan due to a poaching case from the late 1990s. This historical context, coupled with the ongoing rivalry between Khan and the Bishnoi gang, has made the actor a persistent target for threats and intimidation.

As per the Money Control report, the recent WhatsApp message, purportedly from a Bishnoi gang member, included specific demands and threats. The sender warned of dire consequences if Khan failed to comply with their demands. The Mumbai police, taking the threat seriously, initiated an immediate investigation. Cyber experts were roped in to trace the origin of the message, which initially appeared to be sent from Karnataka. However, the use of a VPN by the sender complicated the investigation, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location.

A significant breakthrough came with the arrest of a 35-year-old man in Bengaluru. The suspect, a welder by profession, was detained based on information shared by the Mumbai police. While the man’s direct connection to the Bishnoi gang remains unclear, the police are investigating whether he acted independently or had links to the criminal network.

Despite the suspect’s apparent lack of a criminal background, the Mumbai police are treating the threat with utmost seriousness. A senior police official emphasized the need to take all threats against a prominent public figure like Salman Khan seriously, regardless of their perceived credibility. The case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including extortion and criminal intimidation. “We cannot dismiss these messages outright, especially considering the actor’s previous experiences and the heightened public interest surrounding him,” the officer stated.

The recent threats have necessitated a significant increase in Salman Khan’s security detail. Mumbai police have deployed additional security personnel to guard the actor’s residence and monitor his movements. The police are also working closely with other law enforcement agencies to ensure comprehensive security coverage.

Khan’s security team has been instructed to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police immediately. The actor himself has been advised to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary public appearances.

Jio Studios unveils new logo; Jyoti Deshpande says, “Symbolizes our ambition to keep pushing boundaries”

This Diwali, Jio Studios, the entertainment division of Reliance Industries Ltd, launched more than a blockbuster. Alongside Singham Again, the studio premiered a new moving logo designed to reflect Jio Studios’ commitment to powerful, culturally resonant storytelling.

The logo animation begins with a single spark from a ball of energy that is revealed as Jio, symbolizing the genesis of an idea represented by pixie dust, igniting into a rich tapestry of mandala designs which are a symbol of the universe in its ideal form and moving dials of the mandala that bring together Indians languages and musical notes, each element weaving together to form a golden lotus—a timeless Indian symbol of purity, resilience and renewal and associated with Brahma the creator of the Universe. The lotus opens to reveal an intricate mandala design in all its glory encasing all the elements and at the heart of it is Jio with the final crescendo birthing the Jio Studios logo accompanied by the sound of sitar. With every intricate detail, Jio Studios’ new logo embodies its mission: “Make in India, Show the World.” With just two colours Black and Gold until the last frame, the logo is timeless and ethereal. Accompanied by an unforgettable and quintessentially Indian signature tune layered with numerous Indian instruments, the moving logo captures the essence of Jio Studios’ commitment to creativity and grandeur in storytelling while proudly embracing its Indianness.

Commenting on this milestone, Jyoti Deshpande, President of Media and Content Business at Reliance Industries, remarked, “2024 has been an incredible year for Jio Studios in which we enjoyed back-to-back box office successes and critical acclaim alike with Stree 2 and Lost Ladies (Laapataa Ladies). A moving logo is an emotion, it is the embodiment of our brand and our values while it captures our vision, and I am particularly happy with the way our logo celebrates our Indianness and wears it on its sleeve. Our new moving logo not only honours our rich heritage but also symbolizes our ambition to keep pushing boundaries with scale and innovation. Purity of Ideas and storytelling form the soul of Jio Studios, and this logo reflects our resilient journey beyond languages and genres, to bring unforgettable, uniquely Indian narratives to audiences all over the world.”
