Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan seems to be in great trouble as one of the key witnesses in the 2002 hit-and-run case has allegedly received "threat" calls asking him to accept Rs five lakh for "staying away" from the case.
The witness, Muslim Shaikh, received two phone calls on Sunday night from an unidentified person who asked him to accept Rs five lakh and keep away from the case, a police officer told PTI.
The incident was brought to the notice of the court trying the hit-and-run case, which in turn asked cops to conduct inquiry and submit a report before it on May 19. "The unidentified caller told the witness that 'paanch lakh le lo aur bhag jao' (take Rs five lakh and run away)," said a police officer.
