Bollywood star Salman Khan has ramped up his security after receiving repeated threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which recently claimed responsibility for the murder of Baba Siddique in Mumbai. In response, Khan has taken additional safety measures, including acquiring a second bulletproof vehicle.
Salman Khan Adds Bulletproof Nissan Patrol to His Security Fleet
Salman Khan’s latest security upgrade includes the purchase of a Nissan Patrol SUV, imported from Dubai at a cost of approximately $240,000. This luxury vehicle comes equipped with advanced safety features, including bulletproof protection, and is powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine with a four-wheel-drive system. The SUV is now part of Khan’s primary defense system as he continues to face threats.
This marks the second bulletproof car Khan has imported from Dubai, a direct response to the ongoing threats from the Bishnoi gang. The gang’s leader, Lawrence Bishnoi, has specifically targeted the actor since his involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The blackbuck, a species considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, has made Khan a target for the imprisoned gangster.
