The Mumbai police have issued a gun licence to actor Salman Khan. This comes after the actor and his father Salim received death threats last month, which prompted Khan to approach the Commissioner of Police for the licence for security purposes.
Senior police officers said Khan was granted the licence days after he met the CP at his office in Crawford Market.
In May, Khan and his father received a threat that they would meet the same fate as Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who was killed at Mansa village by alleged members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang earlier that month.
The Bishnoi gang had in 2018 issued a similar threat against the actor. According to cops, Salim Khan’s security personnel had found the threat letter when he was on his daily morning walk at Bandstand promenade. The note read, “Moose Wala jaisa kar dunga.”
Right now Salman Khan is moving under security cover with around thirty private people along with his personal body guard shera.
it is reported that these private security are also carrying weapons to protect Salman Khan.
