Summary

Salman Khan Targeted

The NIA listed Salman Khan among ten top targets of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang in 2023.
Anil Pandit, claiming to be Bishnoi’s younger brother, called Khan “Dawood’s dog” while warning collaborators.
The gang previously threatened director Rohit Shetty and comedian Kapil Sharma, and named Harman Sandhu as a participant.
Lawrence Bishnoi remains jailed in Gujarat, while the 1998 blackbuck hunting case fuels the community’s grievance against Khan.

History

Historical Context

On 12 March 1993, twelve coordinated car bombs killed 257 people and injured about 1,400 in Mumbai, a retaliation for the December-1992 Babri Masjid demolition and the ensuing riots. The attacks were orchestrated by Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company, prompting a split in the underworld and a wave of legal actions that reshaped Maharashtra’s anti-organised-crime framework. Today, renewed threats against Bollywood figures echo the 1990s intimidation tactics.
