In a security breachnice88, a man entered at the shooting set of Bollywood actor Salman's next film on Wednesday and threatened his bodyguard using the name of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Police later detained the man.

According to PTI, Khan was not present on the set in Mumbai's Shivaji Park area on Wednesday when the incident took place.

Police later informed that the accused was a junior artist working in the film industry against whom a non-cognisable or 'NC' complaint was registered. In legal terms, a non-cognizable case prohibits police from registering a First Information Report (FIR) or arresting any person unless instructed by a court.

About the incident

On Wednesday, one of Salman Khan's bodyguards stopped the man once he entered the set and asked him the reason behind his visit. This led to an argument before the accused threatened him using Bishnoi's name, as per the complaint.

Shivaji Park police took the man in custody and registered an NC case for alleged criminal intimidation under section 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The preliminary probe revealed that the accused and the bodyguard knew each other and they had some dispute, the official said.
