On Tuesday, the Mumbai Police acting on a tip off arrested a budding song writer for allegedly sending threat messages to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and demanding rupees five crore. The singer was extorting money in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi.
Sohail Pasha, held from Raichur in Karnataka, wanted a song written by him to become famous and used this ploy for the purpose, police claimed.
The WhatsApp helpline of Mumbai traffic police on November 7 received multiple messages stating that the sender was a member of the Bishnoi gang, and Salman Khan would be killed if he did not pay Rs 5 crore.
