Why is Lawrence Bishnoi targeting Salman Khan?
It was in 2018 that Lawrence Bishnoi had openly threatened to kill Salman Khan. Since then, he has been under threat, especially after gunshots were fired at his house earlier this year. This has links to Salman Khan's Blackbuck case 1998 whose verdict is still pending. Salman Khan was accused of hunting down Chinkaras (blackbucks) at Bawad in Mathania near Jodhpur during the shooting of Hum Saath - Saath Hain. Blackbucks are considered holy by the Bishnoi community. The incident has reportedly left the community offended.
