On Sunday, Khan received a death threat via a message sent to the official WhatsApp number of the Worli Transport Department. The threat came exactly a year after two unidentified men on a motorcycle fired four shots outside his Bandra residence.

Following the latest threat, Worli police registered a case and upgraded security arrangements at the actor’s home in Galaxy Apartments.

According to the message, the sender threatened to either storm Khan’s residence or target his vehicle with explosives.

Within 24 hours of registering the FIR, police identified the sender as Mayank Pandya, 25, and detained him at his residence in Vadodara.
