New Delhi: A threatening message was sent on the WhatsApp number of Mumbai Traffic Police warning of harm to Salman Khan if the Bollywood actor does not pay a ransom of Rs 5 crore. “Don’t take it lightly,” the WhatsApp message said, warning “Salman Khan’s condition will be worse than Baba Siddique” if he fails to pay the ransom.
The threat message comes days after the murder of ex-Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was close to Salman Khan..
The Mumbai police has taken the threat message seriously and has launched investigations in relation to the matter.
"Don't take it lightly, if Salman Khan wants to stay alive and wants to end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, then he will have to pay Rs 5 crore. If the money is not given, Salman Khan's condition will be worse than Baba Siddique," the threat message said.
The police is also investigating if the message was sent to deviate its leads in the investigation in the Baba Siddique murder case.
