Shah Rukh Khan Targeted in Chilling Death Threat Call, Police Launch Investigation.

Shah Rukh Khan, has again become the focus of security concerns following a recent death threat. Reports indicate that a resident of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, named Faizan, is suspected of making the threat via phone. In response, a Mumbai Police team has traveled to Raipur to investigate further. The threat was initially reported at the Bandra Police Station in Mumbai, with a case filed against an unidentified person. The charges have been registered under sections 308(4), 351(3)(4) of the Indian Penal Code, though more information is awaited.

According to India Today TV, the caller issued a warning, demanding Rs 50 lakh, threatening harm to Shah Rukh Khan if the payment was not made. When questioned by the police, the caller insisted they "address him as 'Hindustani'" while refusing to disclose his identity or location. The call reportedly came in on November 5 at around 1:20 pm.

This is not the first instance of Shah Rukh Khan facing such threats. Following the blockbuster success of his films Pathaan and Jawan in 2023, the actor admitted he had been receiving death threats, which led to an upgrade in his security, including Y+ protection. For his own safety, Shah Rukh has remained under close watch, with a dedicated security team. On his recent birthday, he was said to have opted to stay indoors at his residence, Mannat, to avoid potential risks, though his team has not confirmed these reports.

Notably, this recent wave of threats arrives amid growing security tensions in Mumbai. In October 2023, political figure Baba Siddique was murdered, with a member of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang reportedly claiming responsibility. This incident has escalated concerns about the safety of high-profile individuals, including film icons like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Police authorities are working vigilantly to ensure their protection, keeping both actors on high alert.
