Shinde also discussed with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and suggested increasing the actor’s security. Since November 2022, Salman Khan’s security level has been elevated to Y-Plus due to threats from gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar. Khan has also been authorized to carry a personal firearm and has acquired a new armored vehicle for added protection.
