Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi who is allegedly behind Sidhu Moose Wala's murder and death threats to Khan and his father has said that he won't spare Salman Khan.

"Since the Bishnois consider the blackbuck to be the reincarnation of their religious guru, Bhagwan Jambeshwar also known as Jambaji, acquittal or punishment from the court will not be the last verdict for him," he said.

He had bought a Rs 4 lakh rifle to kill Khan in 2018 as well. He had openly threatened to kill him.
