Lawrence Bishnoi, who is in jail, has had ongoing issues with Salman Khan and has threatened him several times. Their conflict started with the 1998 Blackbuck shooting case, where Salman Khan was convicted.
The Bishnoi community regards Blackbucks as sacred, and Lawrence Bishnoi has vowed to target Salman Khan. The April 14 firing marked a serious escalation in the threats made by the Bishnoi gang against the actor.
The situation escalated further in October when former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. The 66-year-old politician was known to have a close relationship with Salman Khan.
Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol, who is a key accused in the Baba Siddique murder case, has been detained in the US. In its chargesheet, the Mumbai Police stated that Siddique's close ties with Salman Khan were a significant motive behind the murder.
Salman Khan had also received a similar threat earlier, with an unknown caller demanding ₹2 crore from the actor. The Worli police egistered a case against the unidentified person who sent several WhatsApp messages to Mumbai Police's traffic helpline number.
