Teenager arrested for threat call to kill actor Salman Khan

A 16-year-old boy was arrested by Mumbai police in connection with allegedly threatening to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. He called the police control room and allegedly threatened to kill the actor.

The police then started an investigation and with technical help, they tracked the number from which the call to Shahapur in Thane district, located 70 km from Mumbai, the official said.

A police team went to Shahapur where they found that a 16-year-old boy had made the threat call, he said. The boy, who hails from Rajasthan, was detained. He will be handed over to the Azad Maidan police in Mumbai for further legal process, the official said.

A probe was on to ascertain the boy’s intention behind issuing the threat to the 57-year-old actor, he said. The Mumbai police last month stepped up Salman Khan’s security after he received a threatening e-mail, which had led to cops earlier registering an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar.
