Hastimal Saraswat, Salman Khan’s attorney in the blackbuck poaching case, allegedly received a death threat in a letter reportedly sent at the direction of the Bishnoi gang about a week before Bishnoi made the confessions during his interrogation in connection with the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, a senior police officer claimed.
New Delhi: The Delhi Police special cell said on Sunday that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed that his community would never forgive Bollywood star Salman Khan unless he makes a public apology for killing a blackbuck, which is regarded holy by the Bishnoi community.
Hastimal Saraswat, Salman Khan’s attorney in the blackbuck poaching case, allegedly received a death threat in a letter reportedly sent at the direction of the Bishnoi gang about a week before Bishnoi made the confessions during his interrogation in connection with the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, a senior police officer claimed.
According to the letter, the attorney was cautioned “to suffer the same destiny as Sidhu Moose Wala,” the officer added.
HGS Dhaliwal, special commissioner (special cell) said, Bishnoi admitted under questioning that acquittal or punishment from the court would not be the final decision for him since the Bishnois believe the blackbuck to be the reincarnation of their spiritual leader, Bhagwan Jambeshwar, also known as Jambaji. “The actor and his father must publicly apologise at Jambaji temple or the Bishnois would murder them”, Bishnoi said.
Last month, a few days after the death of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, actor Salman Khan got a threat letter. The actor’s security crew discovered the note at a seat where Salim Khan typically sits after his morning exercise in Bandra Bandstand, close to their residence. Salman Khan and his father will suffer the same fate as Moose Wala, the letter read.
