Post Salman Khan receiving a death threat, Karan Johar was reportedly on Lawrence Bishnoi’s target list. Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang had planned to extort a sum of Rs. 5 crores from Karan Johar. The shocking news was shared by Siddhesh Kamble, alias Mahakal who is an alleged member of the gang apparently with the Mumbai police.
As per Kamble’s statement, Vikram Brar, brother of Canada-based gangster Goldie Brar, had discussed these plans with him on Instagram and Signal apps.
But a senior police official has said that these claims have not been verified yet. They added that the motive behind the bragging and their confessions were to gain publicity and get bigger extortion amounts. The gangsters want their names to get associated with high-profile cases.
Sources added, The Bishnoi gang was trying to take advantage of the sensation it had caused after Sidhu Moosewala assasination. So they decided to threaten Bollywood celebrities. Threatening Salman Khan for extortion was part of this plan, hatched by Vikram Brar.
As reported by sources to PTI, “Mahakal is a small fish. Vikram Brar told him about Karan Johar. Why Brar told this to Mahakal, who is just a foot soldier? Because Brar wants to increase his clout and impress youths like Mahakal.”
Earlier, Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan reportedly received a death threat and within no time their security was doubled.
Kamble is a close aide of Santosh Jadhav, a suspected shooter in the Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala murder case. He was well aware of the murder conspiracy.
