Shah Rukh Khan gets Y+ security cover after death threats from underworld

Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan will be provided Y+ security cover after Mumbai Police received intelligence inputs that there is a threat to the actor’s life.

Under the Y+ security cover, Mr Khan will be accompanied by six armed security personnel round the clock. Earlier, the popular actor was accompanied by two security personnel.
According to police, the actor recently informed the Maharashtra government about receiving death threats following the success of his films ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’. The Maharashtra government then decided to step up the security cover provided to the popular actor.

Earlier, actor Salman Khan was provided Y+ security cover last year following threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang.
Shah Rukh Khan has had run-ins with the Mumbai underworld earlier and has been known to stand up to threats.

Recently, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta took to social media to praise ‘Jawan’ and praised Mr Khan for his determination to overcome challenges, including threats from gangsters.
“Back in the 90s when the underworld bullying of film stars was at its peak, Shah Rukh Khan was THE ONLY star who never gave in. ‘Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon (shoot me if you want to, but I won’t work for you, I am a Pathan),’ he said. He’s the same today (sic),” Gupta had posted on X.

According to the Maharashtra government’s policy, security cover is provided to citizens who face a threat to life. In such cases, the citizens have to pay a fee or deposit a security amount for the protection.
