Mumbai Police issue LOC against Indian student in UK for sending threat mail to Salman Khan

Mumbai: The Mumbai Police have issued a look out circular (LOC) against an Indian student pursuing medical education in the United Kingdom for allegedly sending a threatening email to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, an official said.

The police have initiated the process to bring the student back to India as he has been identified as the sender of the email, the official said on Tuesday.

The investigation revealed the student hails from Haryana. He is in the third year of a medical course. The student is likely to return to India by the end of this year when his academic session ends in the UK, the official said.

Police suspect the student allegedly sent threatening messages to Salman Khan in the name of jailed gangster Goldy Brar in March.

A few days ago, Salman Khan received an email on one of his official IDs which stated that he should meet gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's aide Goldy Brar and sort out their differences once and for all or be ready to face the consequences.

The Mumbai Crime Branch recently arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly calling the police control room and threatening to kill actor Salman Khan on April 30. As per the police, the accused – a native of Jodhpur, Rajasthan – revealed that he had made the call for 'fun'. The police constable received the call saying, "I am going to kill Salman Khan on April 30. Tell him,", and the call was disconnected. Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) swung into action with the help of the cyber police and located the caller in Dolkhamb village of Shahpur Taluka, Thane. The minor tried to flee with his friend on a bike before being caught by the police.
