Nonetheless, this isn't the first time that Salman has received a death threat. Last month, a 21-year-old man was held in connection with sending a threat mail to Salman. In March, Dhakadram Ramlal Siyag was arrested from Jodhpur by a Bandra Police team. At the time, a police official told news agency PTI. "Our probe has found he also sent a threat mail to the father of late singer Sidhu Moosewala. A case has been registered in this connection in Mansa police station in Punjab. Siyag also has an Arms Act case against his name in Sardarpura police station.”
"We will probe if he has any role in previous threats received by (Salman) Khan, including a case registered in 2022 against gangsters Goldy Brar, Lawrence Bishnoi and others," he had said.

For the unversed, Lawrence and Goldy are alleged masterminds behind the killing of singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moose Wala, in May 2022. They allegedly sent a threat mail to Salman too stating that he will "end up like Sidhu Moose Wala".
Since then, the actor has been given Y-category security by the Mumbai police.
