The news that has been doing the rounds since morning is
that Salman Khan was asked to stop shooting of Remo D'souza's Race 3 (on
Tuesday) and rushed home in a police car with six cops, in view of the death
threat he faces from the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

This afternoon, we spoke to Salman's father, Salim Khan,
who confirmed the development.

Branch Or the Government gets a message (of any untoward kind), they act fast
and inform the local police."

Added Salim saab, "I don't think we should make a
big deal about this because this would only give publicity (to the whole
gangster). Such things have happened to other big stars as well in the past.
But yes, we have to be careful and take all the necessary precautions."
A few days back, Lawrence Bishnoi had issued death threat to Salman Khan
as he is being linked to the blackbuck killing case of 1998, in which the actor
and his co-actors are accused. It was Jodhpur's Bishnoi community which had
brought up the blackbuck hunting case. Lawrence Bishoi is a notorious gangster
and has been charged in over 20 cases of attempt to murder, carjacking,
extortion, snatching and under the Arms Act in Punjab-Haryana belt. According
to the report, the superstar’s court appearance in Jodhpur last Thursday
in the black buck case is said to have rubbed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi,
the wrong way. Bishnoi was produced a day later in the same court amidst heavy
security when he announced that he would kill Salman.

A source was quoted by the tabloid saying, “The police
arrived at the Race 3 set in Film City and told Salman and producer Ramesh
Taurani that the shoot had to be stopped immediately as the actor needed to
head home as soon as possible. Salman was escorted in another car by six cops,
while his own car was driven back to his residence by another group of cops.”

The police has asked Salman to keep a low profile and
riding a bicycle on the roads is also a strict no-no. "This is not the
first time a threat has been issued against Salman or a member of his family,
and the actor is often spotted about town without security or even his
bodyguard, Shera, but anticipating an unprecedented attack, he has been asked
to be extra safe," a senior police office revealed.
Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez were
shooting for a steamy track for Race 3 in Film city, Bandra when this incident
took place.
