The messages also reportedly demanded an apology from Salman Khan to the Bishnoi community and issued threats to people associated with the actor.
For the uninitiated, the longstanding hostility between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi is linked to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan. The Bishnoi community considers the blackbucks as holy, and the case has remained a source of resentment. Salman has faced repeated threats over the years, and a firing incident was reported outside his Bandra residence in April 2024.
