Salman Khan and Sonali Bendre in Hum Saath Saath Hain — This latest incident comes days after Salman’s security was tightened the first time following Moosewala’s murder. The connection, for those wondering, is gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, and has emerged as a key accused in Moosewala’s murder. In 2018, Bishnoi had threatened to kill Salman following the actor’s involvement in the Blackbuck illegal poaching case during the shooting of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ in Rajasthan in 1998. “We will kill Salman Khan in Jodhpur.” Bishnoi had said at the time. “Everyone will know once we take action.” Blackbucks are considered sacred by the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan. | Still from 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' Image Credit: Rajashri Productions
