Mumbai traffic police received a significant threat message demanding Rs 5 crore from Bollywood star Salman Khan, according to an official statement on Friday.
A case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was filed at Worli police station for threat and extortion, after the city's traffic control received the message via their WhatsApp helpline on Thursday afternoon.
Though the Crime Branch was initially tasked with the investigation, it was transferred to local police when deemed non-serious. Notably, Khan has been a past target of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who plotted his assassination in June.
