In a shocking turn of events, a death threat targeting Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been traced back to a phone allegedly owned by a lawyer from Raipur, Faizan Khan. The incident raised several questions, especially as the lawyer claimed his phone had been stolen days before the threat.
The Stolen Phone and the Threat Call
Mumbai Police reported that a death threat was issued to Shah Rukh Khan from a phone number linked to Faizan Khan. The caller demanded ₹50 lakh from the actor. The investigation revealed that Faizan Khan, a lawyer from Chhattisgarh, had recently reported his phone as stolen at the Khamardih Police Station. He denied any involvement in the threat, claiming it was part of a conspiracy against him.
Controversial Connection to Shah Rukh Khan’s Movie Dialogue
Faizan Khan disclosed that he had previously objected to a dialogue from Shah Rukh Khan’s 1994 film Anjaam. The dialogue referenced deer hunting and reportedly offended Khan, a member of the Bishnoi community. This community sees the protection of deer as a religious duty. Khan explained that he found the remark offensive, especially from a Muslim actor. He speculated that his grievance may have led to the recent threat call.
Mumbai Police Investigation
After the threatening call, Bandra Police filed a case under Sections 308 (extortion with threats of death or serious harm) and 351 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC. Police are investigating whether Faizan Khan’s objections to the dialogue contributed to the threat.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Upcoming Projects
Despite the ongoing investigation, Shah Rukh Khan continues to shine in the film industry. His upcoming film, King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, will feature an ensemble cast including Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma. Filming begins in January 2025, and fans eagerly anticipate his next appearance.
Conclusion
The investigation into Shah Rukh Khan’s death threat continues. Faizan Khan’s involvement and personal grievances add complexity to the case. Mumbai Police work to trace the call’s source and uncover any potential conspiracy.
