Lawrence Bishnoi has been after Salman Khan for a long time. He has threatened Salman many times. On October 12, Salman Khan's friend and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui was murdered and the Lawrence Gang took responsibility for it. On October 18, Salman once again received a threat and a ransom of Rs 5 crore was demanded from him. However, Lawrence, who is lodged in Sabarmati jail, had said in an interview last year that he is not doing all this for money.
Lawrence Bishnoi had said in an interview given to ABP Majha that he has been angry towards Salman Khan since childhood. Lawrence was asked whether he did not want to kill Salman because it would make his name bigger. On this he had said, “For this we will kill Shahrukh Khan. If you have to kill just for the sake of fame then there are very few people in Bollywood. Will kill anyone.”
Lawrence further said, “There is a purpose. And God does not spare anyone's ego. If you have to kill someone just for fame or money, then kill anyone in Bollywood. Someone might be roaming on Juhu beach, they will kill someone there.”
He had also said that he would forgive Salman only when he apologizes to the Bishnoi community. Lawrence said that when Salman was accused of hunting blackbuck, he was four-five years old. He had said, “We have been angry since childhood that Salman let us down.”
However, on October 18, when Salman once again received a threat, he not only demanded a ransom of Rs 5 crore, but also said that if it was taken lightly, Salman's condition would be worse than that of Baba Siddiqui. This threatening message for Salman came on the WhatsApp number of Mumbai Traffic Police.
