New Delhi: After notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi publicly sent death threats to one of Bollywood’s biggest stars Salman Khan, several series of events have been escalating rapidly. Connected to Salman Khan’s 1998 Black Buck poaching case, the Bishnoi community still seems to have a vendetta against the superstar. For those unversed, Salman Khan was the main accused in the killing/hunting of a blackbuck, an animal that is sacred to the Bishnoi community.
Lawrence Bishnoi claimed enmity with Salman Khan over the case. He asked the actor to visit the Bishoi temple in Rajasthan and ask for forgiveness, otherwise, the consequences would lead to his end. Now, Jaipur’s Bishnoi community burned effigies of Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan. According to reports, the community was offended by Salim Khan’s ‘misleading’ statements regarding the controversial case.
