Aamir Khan faces alleged death threat from Bishnoi gang

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is the subject of a reported death threat circulated on social media by individuals claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, according to multiple reports on July 18, 2026. The threat, which police are investigating, is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding the actor's recent marriage.

The alleged threat surfaced via a viral Facebook post and an accompanying audio clip attributed to individuals named Arzoo Bishnoi and Tyson Bishnoi. The message accused Khan of promoting what it termed "love jihad," a reference to his third marriage to entrepreneur Gauri Spratt, and warned of violent consequences for those seen as encouraging acts against their culture and beliefs. The post invoked religious and nationalist language, stating the actor's actions were against "Sanatan Dharma" and the nation.

Mumbai Police officials confirmed they are aware of the social media post and are examining its digital trail to verify its authenticity. However, they stated that neither Khan nor his representatives have filed a formal complaint as of Saturday morning. A formal investigation will commence once a complaint is received, authorities said.
