Year-Ender 2024: Salman Khan Stayed in Headlines Not for Films but These Reasons

As the year 2024 comes to a close, Bollywood's "Bhai," Salman Khan, made headlines, but not for his films. Instead, his prominence in the news was driven by serious security concerns linked to the Bishnoi gang and a series of alarming incidents.

Intrusion at Salman’s Farmhouse

In January 2024, reports surfaced of two unidentified individuals trespassing on Salman Khan’s farmhouse. This incident marked the beginning of a year filled with security threats for the superstar.

Shooting Incident Outside Galaxy Apartments

In April, a shooting incident occurred outside Salman’s residence at Galaxy Apartments. Investigations revealed connections to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who had previously issued threats against Salman. Following this, the actor's security was significantly heightened.

Murder of Baba Siddique

In October, NCP leader and Salman Khan’s close friend, Baba Siddique, was tragically killed in Mumbai. Reports suggested that the Bishnoi gang targeted Siddique due to his association with Salman. This incident further underscored the ongoing threats faced by the actor.

Throughout 2024, Salman Khan remained under the shadow of these threats, leading to heightened public and media attention on his safety. While fans missed seeing him in significant film roles, his resilience in dealing with these challenges kept him in the spotlight.
