According to the official sources, a complaint was received by the Bandra Police on Saturday from a friend of Salman Khan, who had been known to him for many years. The complainant told the police that in the afternoon, an email was received at his office mentioning the name of Salman Khan. The content of the email mentioned an interview with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The Bandra police had initiated the process of bringing in the medical student from the UK, who had been identified as the sender of the email threatening actor Salman Khan in March. The youth, who belonged to Haryana, sent the email to one of Khan’s friends on behalf of gangster Goldy Brar, said sources. Officers then investigated whether he had any links to Brar, police said, without revealing any more details about the youngster.

The third-year medical student sent the email while partying with friends on March 18, and he likely did it for fun, according to sources.
