The letter, which was sent to the actor on June 5, bears the initials ‘L.B.’ at the end, thus pointing to the gangster’s initials.
The letter, which is in Hindi, said that both Salman and his father would soon meet the same fate as the slain singer Siddhu Moose Wala (Tera Moosa Wala bana denge), the sources said.
Earlier, the Maharashtra department of home affairs increased the security of the actor after the threat letter.
The Mumbai police on Sunday lodged a first information report against an unknown person for sending the threat letter to Salman and his father.
According to police, Salim found the letter on a bench where he sits daily after jogging in the morning near the Bandra Bandstand promenade in Mumbai at around 7.30 AM-8.00 AM.
