Shah Rukh Khan Death Threat Case: Lawyer, whose phone was stolen by accused, filed complaint 'objecting' to actor's dialogue in 1994 movie Anjaam
In a recent development regarding the threat call to actor Shah Rukh Khan, police investigations revealed that the lawyer had previously raised objections to a dialogue from one of the actor's movies.
Mumbai police reportedly revealed that the death threat targeting Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was traced back to a phone allegedly owned by a lawyer from Raipur. However, Faizan Khan, the lawyer in question, denied any involvement, stating that his phone had been stolen days before the threat call. During the investigation, he also disclosed that he had previously raised objections to a dialogue by Khan referencing deer hunting in his 1994 film Anjaam.
PTI reported that a lawyer from Chhattisgarh was called in by Mumbai Police for questioning after his "stolen phone" was allegedly used to issue a death threat to the Jawan actor, along with a demand for Rs 50 lakh in extortion.
According to PTI, the man disclosed that he had previously lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police against the Anjaam actor over a dialogue in the film referencing deer hunting.
He reportedly explained that, as a native of Rajasthan with ties to the Bishnoi community, which holds the protection of deer as a religious duty, he found the remark 'offensive'.
"If a Muslim says something like this about deer, it is condemnable," he stated. He also claimed that the recent call made from his phone seemed deliberate, suggesting he believes it may be part of a conspiracy against him.
A senior Mumbai police official confirmed that Bandra police station had received a threatening call targeting Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by a Rs 50 lakh demand.
The Bandra police have registered a case against the caller under Sections 308 (4) (extortion with threats of death or serious harm) and 351 (3) (4) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Initial investigations showed that the threatening call was made using a phone number registered under the name Faizan. However, during questioning, he informed the police that he had lost his phone the previous week and filed a complaint at the Khamardih police station.
On the professional front, Khan's next appearance will be in Sujoy Ghosh's King alongside Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma. According to a report from Pinkvilla, filming for the movie is set to begin in January 2025.
