Salman Khan’s Life in Danger? Sikandar Actor Receives Chilling Bomb Threat Targeting His Car and Home

Bollywood’s beloved superstar Salman Khan is no stranger to the spotlight—be it for his blockbuster films or real-life controversies. But this time, the buzz is more serious. A shocking message was recently sent to Mumbai’s Transport Department, warning of a bomb planted in Salman Khan’s car and a plan to enter his house to harm him. This isn’t the first such incident, but it certainly adds to a growing pattern of security threats around the actor. Here's a detailed look at what happened, why Salman Khan is being targeted, and what the authorities are doing in response.

What is the Latest Threat Against Salman Khan?

According to reports, a WhatsApp message was received by Mumbai's Transport Department in Worli, threatening to plant a bomb in Sikandar actor Salman Khan’s car and to attack him at his residence. The sender of the message remains unidentified, and a case has been filed at Worli Police Station. Investigations are currently underway to trace the source and determine whether the threat is credible.

Why is Salman Khan Being Targeted?

The threats to Salman Khan are believed to be connected to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, in which he was accused of killing a protected species. The Bishnoi community, which holds the blackbuck sacred, has shown strong disapproval over the years. Notably, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s name has surfaced repeatedly in connection with threats to the actor.

In 2024, Salman Khan reportedly received a message demanding he either apologise at a temple or pay Rs 5 crore as compensation. Later that year, he was asked to pay another Rs 2 crore in a separate message.

How Many Times Has Salman Khan Been Threatened?

Here’s a timeline of some key incidents:

• 2022: A threat letter was found on a bench near Salman’s home.
• 2023: A threatening email allegedly from Goldy Brar, a known associate of Bishnoi, was received.
• 2024: Two men tried to enter Salman Khan’s Panvel farmhouse using fake IDs.
• October 2024: A fresh ransom demand of Rs 2 crore was made.
• April 2025: The latest threat involved a bomb warning targeting Salman’s car.

What Has Salman Khan Said About the Threats?

Despite the ongoing threats, Salman Khan has remained calm. At a recent press conference, he expressed his faith in destiny, saying, “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai” (God and Allah are watching over. My lifespan will be as long as fate allows). He also revealed that, for his safety, his routine now only involves travelling between his home (Galaxy Apartments) and film shoots. “I am not worried when I am with the press, but when I am without the press, that cramps my style,” the actor said.

What Are Authorities Doing About It?

Mumbai Police have tightened security around Salman Khan’s residence and vehicles. Surveillance has been increased, and his personal security detail remains on high alert. Cybercrime and anti-terror units are working together to trace the origin of the WhatsApp bomb threat.
