Mumbai cops nab a Rajasthani man in connection with Salman Khan's threat e-mail

A man has been nabbed by the Mumbai Police in Rajasthan in connection with a threatening e-mail to Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

An official has told the news agency PTI that the accused, a resident of Rajasthan, was apprehended by the Bandra police station and he is being brought to Mumbai.

The Mumbai Police have lodged an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar and another person for sending a threatening e-mail to Bollywood actor Salman Khan's office.

The sender of the e-mail, written in Hindi, said: "Goldy Bhai (Goldy Brar) wanted to talk with Salman Khan face to face". Apart from Bishnoi and Brar, the First Information Report, which was registered on Saturday, names one Rohit, an official told news agency PTI.

The FIR was registered under sections 120-B (Punishment for criminal conspiracy), 506-II (Punishment for criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) under the Indian Penal Code.

Bishnoi, currently lodged in the Bathinda jail, and Goldy Brar are accused in the Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala murder case. The complaint was lodged with Bandra Police by one Prashant Gunjalkar, who according to police frequently visits the Bandra-based residence of Khan and runs an artist management company.

When Gunjalkar was present in Khan's office in Galaxy Apartment on Saturday afternoon, he noticed an email had come from the ID "Rohit Garg", the official said quoting the FIR.

The e-mail, written in Hindi, stated Salman Khan must have seen the interview given recently to a news channel by Lawrence Bishnoi, and if not, he should see it. Addressing Gunjalkar, it said if Khan wants to close the matter, he should talk face-to-face with Goldy bhai, as per the FIR.

The email further said there is still time but "next time jhatka dekhne ko milega".

An interview with Bishnoi was broadcast recently by a private news channel.
