Mumbai: The Maharashtra government has decided that Mumbai Police will provide Y+ grade of security cover to actor Salman Khan in light of recent threats to him allegedly by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This means a personal security officer and 11 armed police personnel, including commandos.
Men backed by Lawrence Bishnoi, who is in jail, are accused of killing singer Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala near his village in Punjab’s Mansa district in May this year. In July, the threat to Salman Khan came in the form of a paper chit that someone left on a bench where his father, writer Salim Khan, sat after his regular morning walk.
“Salim Khan Salman Khan bahut jald aapka Moose Wala hoga,” the letter said, threatening to “do what we did to Moose Wala”. It had two sets of initials — GB and LB — interpreted as Lawrence Bishnoi and his Canada-based associate Goldy Brar.
Lawrence Bishnoi denies any role in this “threat chit”, but he had some years earlier threatened to kill Salman Khan. Appearing for a court hearing in Jodhpur, he’d said Salman Khan had hurt the sentiments of the Bishnois, a sect that has love for animals among its tenets, by hunting a blackbuck — a charge that the actor was eventually acquitted of.
Maharashtra’s Eknath Shinde-BJP government said the state’s Home department took the decision to give Salman Khan ‘Y Plus’ — the fourth highest known grade of security provided in India — after a threat perception review.
Salman Khan has for years had private security. He is constantly shadowed by his main guard, Gurmeet Singh alias Shera, who has become a minor celebrity.
