Salim Khan spoke about the blackbuck poaching case recently and denied any involvement of his son Salman Khan in the incident. Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has issued threats against the actor, urging him to apologize for his alleged role in the act or face dire consequences. The veteran screenwriter said that Salman has never harmed an animal in his life and that apologizing would mean admitting to something he has not done.
In an interview with ABP News, Salim Khan said that Salman is an animal lover. “He won’t lie to me. He has no intentions of killing animals. He loves them. Apologizing would mean admitting to the killing. Salman has never killed any animal. We have not even killed a cockroach ever. We do not believe in these things.”
He added, “Who should Salman apologize to? How many people have you apologized to, how many animals’ lives have you saved? What crime has he committed? Have you seen him? Have you investigated the matter? We have never even used a gun.”
On Friday, Mumbai traffic police received a threat message demanding Rs 5 crore from Salman and a case was registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for threat and extortion. Earlier this year, Bishnoi gang members had opened fire outside Salman’s house in Bandra.
