Lawrence Bishnoi vs. Salman Khan: Why the Gangster Wants to Kill the Actor
Lawrence Bishnoi, a known gangster, has openly threatened Bollywood actor Salman Khan multiple times. The reason for this enmity stems from a 1998 incident when Khan was involved in a blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan. The Bishnoi community, which holds the blackbuck as sacred, was deeply hurt, and Lawrence Bishnoi, being a member of this community, vowed to seek revenge. He declared that it was his "life's goal" to kill Salman Khan.
Timeline of Incidents:
1998: Salman Khan was charged with hunting blackbucks during the shooting of his film "Hum Saath-Saath Hain" in Rajasthan. This incident sparked outrage among the Bishnoi community.
