Days after Salman Khan visited the Mumbai Police headquarters, located opposite Crawford Market in south Mumbai, seeking a gun license, he has been issued the same.
Khan had applied following a recent case pertaining to a death threat to him and his father.
As per reports, the license was collected by the actor’s representative after handing over acknowledgement.
He had also updated his regular car to a bulletproof land cruiser.
In June this year, the Bandra police had registered an FIR against unknown persons after Salman’s father, Salim Khan, found a handwritten letter at Bandstand. The letter was placed on a bench where the older Khan would usually sit after his morning walk, and warned that the father and son duo would soon meet the same fate as murdered singer Sidhu Moosewala.
The investigation was subsequently transferred to the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, while the Khan family’s security was stepped up. Salman had earlier received a threat from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is also accused of Moosewala’s murder, after the actor was charged for poaching a black buck. The animal is regarded as sacred by the Bishnoi community.
For those unversed, as per the Arms Rules, 2016, Khan is eligible to obtain the license given that he falls in the category of being susceptible to attacks due to his wealth and fame.
Salman Khan is gearing up for his next film release ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’. Described as a family drama, the movie is directed by Farhad Samji, who last helmed ‘Bachchhan Paandey’.
He also has ‘Tiger 3’ with Katrina Kaif, which will arrive in cinemas on Eid 2023.
