Mumbai Police Arrest Lawyer Who Threatened Shahrukh Khan, Made 50 Lakh Ransom Demand

MumbaiضMumbai police have arrested a lawyer from Chhattisgarh for allegedly threatening Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan with death and demanding a ransom of 50 lakh rupees. The shocking details of the case emerged following a police investigation into the threat, which was initially reported a few weeks ago.

According to police, the accused, Faizan Khan, a lawyer, had been collecting online information about Shahrukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan’s security details. This information came to light after the police seized a second mobile phone from the suspect, which led to further revelations. When questioned, Faizan Khan gave contradictory and misleading answers about why he was gathering security-related data on Shahrukh Khan and his family.

The incident began when Shahrukh Khan received a threatening phone call in Mumbai demanding 50 lakh rupees. The police immediately registered a case and launched an investigation. Following the probe, Faizan Khan, who had made the threat, was apprehended from Chhattisgarh. During questioning, he claimed that his phone had been lost, and he had filed a complaint about it at the Khamerdiya Police Station on November 2.

The threatening call, which was traced using an active phone number, was made on November 5 at 1:20 PM IST. The caller allegedly demanded 50 lakh rupees in ransom from Shahrukh Khan. This incident follows a similar case last year when another Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan, also received a threat, prompting Mumbai police to increase their security measures for both actors.

In October of the previous year, following the massive success of Shahrukh Khan’s films *Pathaan* and *Jawan*, he had received death threats, resulting in heightened security measures being placed around him. The police have continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding these incidents, with the focus now on Faizan Khan’s motives and possible connections to other such threats against prominent celebrities.
