Bollywood icon Salman Khan faces continuous threats from criminal Lawrence Bishnoi over the blackbuck case. Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait urged him to apologize by visiting a temple, labeling the criminal as a ‘badmaash aadmi’.

Rakesh Tikait really suggested that Salman Khan should go to a temple to ask for forgiveness. Right after Baba Siddique’s murder, Tikait said it might be safer for Salman to apologize directly to Lawrence. He stressed that this issue goes beyond just Salman Khan and affects society as a whole.

In a report by Hindustan Times, Rakesh 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 the 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).

He also labeled Lawrence Bishnoi as a risky character, stating, "Woh ek badmaash aadmi hai."

Salman Khan has been under heavy security since he got death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, stemming from a long feud related to the unresolved 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Despite no clear end to the issue, Bishnoi persists in threatening the actor's life.

The problem started when Salman got involved in the blackbuck killing during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, leading to a long legal fight spanning 26 years. During this tough time, he faced a series of arrests, bails, and court decisions. In reaction to the ongoing legal battle, Bishnoi and his gang openly threatened him.

Recently, Salman’s Mumbai home was attacked, with gunshots heard outside his Galaxy apartment. The situation worsened after Siddique's murder. Lately, members of the Bishnoi community burned effigies of Salman and his father, Salim Khan, on October 27, 2024. This protest was triggered by what they considered misleading statements about the blackbuck case.
