New Delhi. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received several death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The reason for this is the black buck hunting case of 1998, in which Salman Khan was accused of involvement. Lawrence Bishnoi has opened an open front against Salman over the killing of blackbuck, which is considered sacred for the Bishnoi community. Although Salman Khan has vehemently denied these allegations, recently Lawrence Bishnoi’s cousin Ramesh Bishnoi claimed in an interview that the actor had earlier tried to end the case by giving him a ‘blank cheque’. Ramesh said that Salman had come to meet Bishnoi community leaders with blank checkbooks so that they could fill in the amount they wanted as compensation. Ramesh also added, “If we had wanted the money, we would have accepted the offer.”

Salim Khan’s allegation and Bishnoi’s reply
Salman’s father Salim Khan, defending the allegations against his son, said that Lawrence Bishnoi is targeting Salman for money. To this, Ramesh Bishnoi replied that this fight is not about money but about ideology. He says, “Our blood was boiling at that time. Lawrence owned 110 acres of land in India and was so prosperous that he did not need any kind of extortion.”
What is the black buck hunting issue?
Salman Khan was accused of killing a black buck in Jodhpur in 1998. At that time the actor had gone there for the shooting of the film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari were also with her in the film. The hearing of this case has been going on for the last 25 years and Salman Khan is currently on bail. The Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck sacred and has been continuously demanding an apology from Salman for this action.
