Amid death threats, Salman Khan spotted at Mumbai airport in bulletproof car

In the wake of death threats from jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Bollywood star Salman Khan was seen arriving at the Mumbai airport in a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV with bulletproof glass.

Khan, wearing a peach shirt and dark trousers, arrived at the airport on Monday night in a white car, which is believed to be the new (some reports say upgraded) bulletproof vehicle. The price of a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV is Rs 1.5 crore, without extra bulletproof protection.



According to carwale.com, the SUV is available in only one variant and has proven-bulletproof reliability. It also has a thick border around the windows, which indicates that the car is now armoured and bulletproof.

Mumbai Police recently issued a gun licence to Salman Khan after he and his father Salim Khan received a series of death threats.

Police have also reportedly increased the security of the actor. Khan recently met with Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar and Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Vishwas Nangre Patil.

Khan and his father received the death threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in June, just days after the shocking murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. The threat letter said the father-son duo would meet the same fate as the singer.

This is not the first time the Bollywood actor received death threats. In 2018, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang threatened the actor when the blackbuck poaching case was underway, as the animal is revered by the Bishnoi community.
