A Chhattisgarh advocate was arrested on Tuesday by Mumbai Police for issuing a de*ath threat to Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Faizan Khan, who also demanded of Rs 50 lakh, was arrested from his Raipur residence.
Faizan Khan had previously said he would come to Mumbai on November 14 to give his statement to the Bandra police.
Since he had been receiving a lot of threats over the past two days, he wrote to the Mumbai Police Commissioner and requested that his statement be recorded virtually citing his safety.
The police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under sections 308(4) and 351 (3)(4), related to extortion and criminal intimidation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), also stepped up security cover outside Shah Rukh Khan’s home after the threat call.
