The Worli police have launched a manhunt to apprehend the person who made threats against actor Salman Khan in a message sent to the traffic police via WhatsApp. The police, who believe the accused hails from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, said the person has been changing his location since the message was sent.

The police suspect that the sender of the message was in Delhi and West Bengal on October 12, the day NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Baba Siddique—a close friend of Khan— was shot dead. The sender is believed to have been in Mumbai on October 9 as the number was traced to a public sector bank at BKC.
