Chhattisgarh Lawyer Arrested in Shah Rukh Khan Death Threat Case

A lawyer from Chhattisgarh, Faizan Khan, was taken into police custody on Thursday for allegedly making a death threat to Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Mumbai police had arrested Faizan on November 12 in Raipur and, after securing permission from a Chhattisgarh court, transferred him to Mumbai for further investigation.

The case began when Bandra Police Station received a call demanding ₹50 lakh from Shah Rukh Khan, with the caller threatening to harm the actor if the ransom wasn’t paid. When Faizan did not respond to police questioning, he was taken into custody.

During the court hearing, Faizan’s lawyers claimed that his phone had been stolen before the alleged threat call was made. The police, however, requested a seven-day custody to investigate the case further, though the court approved four days for now.
