WEB DESK: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was threatened by a man, who has now been arrested by Mumbai police in the state of Chhattisgarh. The man had also demanded a ransom of 50 lakh rupees from Shah Rukh Khan.
The arrest came after Shah Rukh Khan filed a complaint, leading to the registration of a case of extortion against the suspect. According to Indian media the man, identified as Faizan, is a lawyer by profession. He had accused the actor of inciting communal hatred and even filed a case against Khan at the Bandra police station.
According to Times of India, the suspect Faizan referred to a scene from Shah Rukh Khan’s 1993 film Anjaam, where Khan’s character kills a deer. He claimed that this act was offensive to the Bishnoi community, as they consider the protection of deer a sacred tradition.
He said he was deeply connected to the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan and believed that any Muslim who harms or disrespects a deer should be condemned. This belief led suspect Faizan to threaten Shah Rukh Khan’s life.
