Cops arrested a 16-year-old from Thane on Tuesday, a day after the Mumbai Police’s Control Room received a phone call threatening to kill actor Salman Khan.

The caller identified himself as a cow vigilante named ‘Rocky Bhai’, from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and threatened to kill Khan on April 30.

The police, using technical help, tracked the call to a number in Shahapur, in Thane district. When the police arrived at the location, the teenager tried to escape on someone else’s motorcycle.

However, the team, led by Inspector Milind Kate, arrested the accused. The police soon verified that he had made the call; the accused also confessed to his crime.

Owning to multiple death threats, Salman receives Y+ security

The Bollywood star received at least two death threats recently. In one case the accused, a resident of Luni in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district, was arrested on March 26 for sending an e-mail threat to him. The state government provided the actor Y+ security after he received a threat letter from the North India-based Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

The Mumbai Police have also booked jailed gangsters Bishnoi, Goldie Brar and Rohit Garg for allegedly sending threatening emails to Khan’s office. Police in Bandra registered a case under sections of the Indian Penal Code.
