Superstar Salman Khan finds himself in a precarious situation. The actor has been facing ongoing threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, linked to the infamous blackbuck poaching case. Recently, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait made headlines by suggesting that Salman should visit their temple and seek forgiveness.
Here’s What He Said
Tikait’s comments come in light of recent tensions following the murder of Baba Siddique. He indicated that apologising to Bishnoi might be a wise move for Salman. He also stated that this issue extends beyond the actor and is of societal importance.
Tikait said, “Yeh samaj se juda hua mamla hai. Salman Khan ko mandir jaa kar maafi maang leni chahiye, nahi toh jail me band aadmi pata nahi kab tapakwa de.” (This is a matter that is connected to society. Salman Khan should go to a temple and apologise, else you never know when the person in jail might do something to harm him.)
Tikait described Bishnoi as a “badmaash aadmi,” indicating that a gangster is a dangerous person.
Salman Khan Under Heavy Security Amid Continued Death Threats
The actor has been under heavy security due to the threats from Bishnoi’s gang. The tension stems from a long-standing feud related to the unresolved blackbuck poaching case dating back to 1998.
Salman was implicated in the poaching incident during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. This led to a protracted legal battle that has lasted 26 years.
Over the years, Salman has faced numerous arrests, bail hearings, and court verdicts related to the case. Bishnoi and his gang have made open threats against the actor, intensifying the situation.
This year, the stakes rose when shots were fired outside Salman’s Galaxy apartment in Mumbai, escalating fears following Siddique’s murder.
Recently, on October 27, 2024, tensions flared further when members of the Bishnoi community burned effigies of Salman and his father, Salim Khan. They protested against what they perceived as misleading statements regarding the Blackbuck case.
