Chhattisgarh Lawyer Accused Of Threatening Shah Rukh Khan Arrested In Raipur

Faizan Khan claimed that his phone was stolen and someone else made the call to the Mumbai police and gave threats to frame him.

The Mumbai police on Tuesday arrested a lawyer from Raipur in Chhattisgarh for allegedly issuing death threats and demanding Rs 50 lakh from the Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

The suspect, Faisal Khan, was apprehended from his residence in Raipur after he made the threatening call to Mumbai Police earlier this month.

He was arrested after he failed to appear before the Mumbai Police.

Earlier, Faizan Khan claimed that his phone was stolen and someone else made the call to the Mumbai police and gave threats to frame him.

Last Tuesday, the Bandra police station in Mumbai received the threat call from a person who identified himself as ‘Hindustani’ and told the police that he was standing outside Mannat, Shah Rukh’s home in Bandra, and if he is not paid Rs 50 lakh he could kill the Jawan actor.

The Mumbai police later found that the call came from a mobile number registered in the name of Faizan Khan from Raipur. After the police located Faizan, he told them that his mobile phone was stolen on November 2, the actor’s birthday. The lawyer also filed a complaint with the local police saying his phone had been stolen.

The Mumbai police then served him a notice asking him to come to Mumbai and join the investigation. But he didn’t turn up, said an officer.

The police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under sections 308(4) and 351 (3)(4), related to extortion and criminal intimidation, of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). They also stepped up security cover outside Shah Rukh Khan’s home after the threat call.
