A double security scare for actor Salman Khan and his family: a biker entered his convoy, while a burqa-clad woman and a man threatened his father Salim Khan in two separate incidents, police said on Thursday.
The incidents happened on Wednesday in the city's Bandra area, where the Khan family lives.
The official said that a 21-year-old motorcycle rider entered the police convoy that was accompanying Salman Khan from Mehboob Studio to Galaxy Apartments, which is the actor's home. The actor has received several threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and has been provided 'Y-plus' security cover by the Mumbai police.
It was around 12.15 am after the convoy had passed Mehboob Studio when Uzair Faiz Mohiuddin, who was riding a motorcycle, tried to get close to Salman Khan's car, said the police official.
Security personnel tried to warn him but kept getting close to Salman Khan's car, he said.
After the actor reached his house, two police vehicles chased the motorcycle rider and forced him to stop, the official said.
When asked, Mohiuddin, a Bandra West resident, said he was a college student.
His case has been registered at Bandra police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 125 (rash and negligent act endangering safety of others) and 281 (rash and negligent driving), but no arrest has so far been made, the official said.
Just six months after Salman Khan faced a serious security scare in April when two motorcycle-borne men, allegedly belonging to the Bishnoi gang, opened fire outside Galaxy Apartments, a burqa-clad woman and a man threatened the actor's father and renowned screenwriter Salim Khan when he was sitting at the Bandra Bandstand promenade after his morning walk, police said, citing gangster Bishnoi's name.
The two, who were later arrested, told the police that they were only "playing a prank" on Salim Khan, said an officer.
"The man and the woman, who were riding a two-wheeler, spotted Salim Khan and stopped near him. They asked him 'Lawrence Bishnoi ko bheju kya?' (Should we send Lawrence Bishnoi to you), the officer added.
After threatening him, the two fled the spot. Salim Khan's bodyguard, who had seen the two-wheeler's number, had lodged a complaint at the Bandra police station, based on which a case was registered.
The police scrutinized the CCTV footage in the area and tracked down the duo. The two were booked as per section 292 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for "committing public nuisance" and some other sections, he said.
In June 2022, when Salim Khan was sitting on a bench at Bandra Bandstand after his morning walk, an unknown man handed him a letter that mentioned a threat to kill him and his son Salman.
