Salman Khan was accused of hunting and killing two blackbucks in Rajasthan's Kankani while he was in Rajasthan for the shoot of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain. In that case a few days before he and his father received a threat letter.

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is being questioned in connection with the assassination of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, revealed in the interrogation that he wanted to kill Bollywood actor Salman Khan in 2018 to teach him a lesson over the blackbuck poaching case. During the interrogation, the gangster revealed the murder plot.

In 2018, he sent gangster Sampat Nehra to Mumbai to execute the murder. He also revealed that Sampat only had a pistol with which he was not able to fire from a long distance. So, he bought a raffle of 4 Lakh just to murder Salman. The police recovered the person from whom the rifle was ordered. Following that their plan got foiled,

Hastimal Saraswat, a lawyer representing Salman Khan in the blackbuck poaching case, earlier on July 6, claimed he had received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

On this Eid, Salman Khan did not step out to wish his fans. The actor's fans had gathered outside his residence in large numbers. However, he chose not to appear in his balcony owing to the death threats which he has been receiving for the last few months.
