In the message, received on the traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline on Sunday, the sender threatened to blow up the actor’s car and also thrash him by entering his residence, a police official said.
An official posted at the traffic police control room then alerted seniors. The Worli police here registered a case against the unidentified person under Section 351(2) (3) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, he said.
A probe is on, the official added.
The traffic police helpline has received many threat messages targeting the 59-year-old actor in the recent past.
Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Weeks after that, the Navi Mumbai police claimed to have uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Khan when he travelled to his farmhouse at Panvel near Mumbai.
