King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has been caught in a security scare after Mumbai police received a direct threat targeting the actor. According to Indian media, a young man named Faizan, residing in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, allegedly called the Bandra police station on November 5 at 1:20PM, demanding a ransom of INR5 million. The call was traced back to Faizan's phone number, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. A team from Mumbai Police has since travelled to Raipur to conduct further investigations into the threat.

The caller reportedly warned of harm to Khan if the ransom wasn't paid, intensifying security concerns for the high-profile actor. "We are still investigating whether his phone was indeed stolen, and we have also asked him to present himself before the Bandra police in Mumbai for further questioning by them," said Santosh Singh, Senior Superintendent of Police, Raipur.

This incident follows an earlier death threat Khan received last October after the blockbuster success of his films Pathaan and Jawan. In response, Mumbai police elevated his security to a Y+ category, providing him with six armed guards on duty around the clock, a substantial upgrade from the previous two-person security detail, as reported by NDTV.
