Salman Khan death threat: All you need to know about the latest caller and arrest

Salman Khan has been hitting headlines since the past few months over threatening letters. Last month he received a threatening email and now a threatening call, claiming to eliminate him on April 30 was made to the police control room. Here’s all you need to know about the minor caller, his arrest and much more.

The Police Control Room on Monday received a call from a man who identified himself as Roki Bhai from Rajasthan. He was reportedly a cow protector from Jodhpur and threatened to kill Salman Khan on April 30. Soon after the cops swung into action and took technical help to trace the caller. Incidentally, this death threat arrived on the day when Salman launched the trailer of his upcoming film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’.

Just a day after the threatening call, cops managed to track the caller. A 16-year-old boy was detained from Thane district. The teenager is a resident of Rajasthan and was nabbed after the cops tracked the call to a number based in Shahapur in Thane district. The Mumbai police concluded that there was no seriousness in this call and that further investigations in the matter are underway.

Salman Khan has kickstarted the promotions for ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ and ETimes had exclusively reported that the Mumbai police had recommended the actor and his security team that they go easy with the same. As precautionary measures, multiple levels of private security, screening of everyone entering the premises and much more checks were put in place at the film’s trailer launch. Mumbai police as well as Salman’s personal security team are handling the checks for the actor.

Following the death threats, Salman Khan has also done his bit for his own security. The actor invested in a swanky new Nissan Patrol Bulletproof SUV in white colour. This car has replaced the actor's previous Bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser LC200 SUV. This luxury ride is not available in the Indian market and it looks like Salman Khan has imported it. Apart from this, Salman has also been given Y plus security.
