Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been issued a gun licence in the wake of the death threats that he received recently. It is known that the actor and his father got a death threat in June, just days after Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on May 29.
Following this incident, Salman Khan applied for an arms licence for self-protection. The licence issuing authority had started the required investigation after the actor met the Mumbai Police Commissioner last month.
It is also heard that Mr Khan has upgraded his vehicle to an armoured and bulletproof Land Cruiser ever since the threats.
For the unversed, Salman Khan got the death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi as the B-Town actor was one of the accused in the blackbuck poaching case of 1998. The gangster threatened the actor because in his community blackbucks are considered sacred.
