Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 20 (ANI): Television actor Abhinav Shukla has reportedly received a death threat from a social media user who claimed to be part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The threat follows a verbal argument between his wife, actress Rubina Dilaik, and rapper Asim Riaz on the show ‘Battleground.’
Soon after the episode aired, Shukla was allegedly targeted online, with the threat mentioning the recent shooting incident at Salman Khan’s house.
According to screenshots and videos shared by Shukla on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the threat message was sent from a profile under the name Ankush Gupta. The message warned Shukla of harm and made a chilling reference to the attack on Salman Khan’s residence.
“I’m from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. I know your address. Should I come over? Just like Salman Khan was shot at, I’ll come to your house and shoot you with an AK-47,” the message read in Hindi.
“Consider this your final warning. Say anything about Asim, and your name goes on the list. Lawrence Bishnoi stands with Asim,” it further read.
