Bollywood superstar Salman Khan continues to face mounting threats, with the latest incident involving a chilling bomb threat via WhatsApp.
Mumbai, April 13, 2025 — The safety concerns surrounding Bollywood icon Salman Khan have escalated once again as the actor received a fresh threat, this time in the form of a bomb warning sent through WhatsApp. According to reports, the threatening message claimed that a bomb had been planted at Khan’s Bandra residence, prompting swift action from the Mumbai Police.
The threat was reportedly sent from an unknown number late Friday night, triggering immediate concern. Salman Khan’s security team informed the Mumbai Police, who quickly registered a case and launched an investigation. A bomb detection and disposal squad, along with sniffer dogs, were deployed to his Galaxy Apartments residence in Bandra. After an extensive search operation, no explosives were found, and the area was declared safe.
This is not the first time the actor has been targeted. Over the past year, Salman Khan has been under heightened security due to multiple death threats, some allegedly linked to members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The actor has since been granted Y+ category security by the Maharashtra government, which includes armed commandos and police personnel assigned to protect him round the clock.
Mumbai Police have filed a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology Act. The cyber cell has also been roped in to trace the origin of the WhatsApp message and identify the individual or group responsible.
“We are taking the matter seriously. Investigations are underway to trace the sender. Security around Mr. Khan has been reinforced,” said a senior police official.
Fans and well-wishers of the actor have expressed concern over the repeated threats, with many calling for stricter actions and swift justice. Despite the looming threats, Salman Khan has continued with his professional commitments, currently working on upcoming film and television projects.
As investigations continue, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the growing use of digital platforms for issuing threats and the challenges law enforcement agencies face in tackling cybercrime.
