Mumbai: Salman Khan was spotted at Mumbai’s private airport on Tuesday amid heightened security, days after the shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff triggered fresh concerns over the safety of Bollywood celebrities. The actor was accompanied by armed security personnel, drawing attention to the security arrangements surrounding him.
The appearance comes against the backdrop of repeated threats allegedly linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associates. Salman has faced security concerns in recent years, making the latest developments involving the film industry particularly significant.
An unverified audio message circulating on social media in connection with the October 18 shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff reportedly mentions Salman Khan. The message contains threats against people in the Mumbai film industry who allegedly fail to comply with the demands of the individuals claiming responsibility. However, the authenticity of the recording and the claims made in it have not been independently established.
Three people have reportedly been detained in connection with the shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff. The case has renewed questions about the safety of prominent film personalities and the potential risks posed by organised criminal networks.
Salman Khan’s security concerns intensified in April 2024, when gunshots were fired outside his Galaxy Apartments residence in Mumbai. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang subsequently claimed responsibility for the incident.

In October 2024, politician Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan, was shot dead in Mumbai. The subsequent police investigation examined whether Siddique’s association with the actor could have been a factor in the killing.
Following the incident involving Tiger Shroff, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde met the actor at his residence and indicated that the security arrangements for celebrities would be reviewed.
Salman Khan’s airport appearance has brought renewed focus to the issue, although it remains unclear whether his security deployment was specifically altered in response to the latest shooting incident. The developments have placed celebrity protection and threats allegedly emanating from criminal networks back in the spotlight.
