NEW DELHI: A CBI officer and Salman Khan were spotted outside the actor’s residence ‘Galaxy’ in Mumbai on Monday (June 6). While the reason behind the CBI officer’s visit to Khan’s residence remains unclear, it is speculated it could be linked to the recent death threat that was issued to Salman and his father Salim Khan by an anonymous person.
On June 5, the Mumbai Police registered an FIR against an unknown person after the threat letter was discovered by Salman’s father Salim Khan’s bodyguards. While CBI is yet to share details about the investigation, it was reported earlier in the day that the security for Salman has been scaled up. As per news agency ANI, Maharashtra Home Department has strengthened Salman Khan’s security after the actor received the threat letter.
According to the police, Salim Khan found the letter on a bench where he sits daily after jogging in the morning. He found the letter at around 7.30 am-8.00 am in his and Salman’s name, said the police. The news surrounding Salman’s security has gained momentum after the shocking death of renowned Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. The acclaimed rapper-singer was gunned down on May 29 in Mansa district while he was driving his Thar jeep. His brutal killing left has left his fans and loved ones in deep shock across the world.

In the police investigation, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s name emerged in the Moosewala killing. It is worth to note that Lawrence, who was connected to Goldy Brar who reportedly took responsibility for Moosewala’s death, had in 2018 threatened to eliminate Salman Khan over his involvement in the blackbuck case, due to which the police had to stop actor’s ‘Race 3’ shoot for a while. The same year, one of Bishnoi’s aides was arrested over deat threat issued to the actor in the blackbuck killing case.
Meanwhile, neither Salman nor his father Salim Khan has reacted to the reports over ‘threat letter’ yet.
