Haveri: The district police on Wednesday arrested Bikaram Jalaram Bishnoi for allegedly threatening Bollywood actor Salman Khan with murder.
Bikaram, who claims to be jailed gangster Larence Bishnoi's brother, has been handed over to the Mumbai anti-terrorism squad.
“Bikha Ram, a resident of Jalore in Rajasthan, recently came to Haveri in search of work. He was staying in a rented room at the Gowdar Oni here. The Mumbai anti-terrorism squad had provided information about his presence,” said district Superintendent of Police Anshukumar.
“Bikha Ram, who was working in under-construction buildings, had issued threats to kill Salman Khan through social media. The Mumbai police had registered a case and were searching for him,” the SP said.
“The suspect had come to the state several months ago. Initially, he was staying in another city and came to Haveri only a month and a half ago. Bikha Ram has been arrested and handed over to the Mumbai anti-terrorism squad, which will continue the investigation,” the SP said.
