Ramesh Bishnoi, the cousin of notorious Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is imprisoned in Gujarat, has revealed that Salman Khan attempted to financially appease the Bishnoi community after allegations of hunting their sacred Blackbuck deers. Salman Khan has received numerous threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang following the blackbuck hunting incident.
In an interview with Indian media, Ramesh Bishnoi stated, “After the blackbuck hunting allegations, Salman Khan came to us with a blank checkbook and told us we could enter any amount we wanted in the check, but the community strictly rejected the offer.”
Ramesh Bishnoi said, “If we needed money, we would have accepted Salman Khan’s offer.”
He explained, “Emotional turmoil within the Lawrence Bishnoi community by saying that when the blackbuck incident occurred, the community was boiling with anger.”
Salman Khan was accused of hunting two rare blackbucks in a village in Rajasthan during the shooting of Bollywood hit ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ in 1998.
Along with Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Tabu were also accused of hunting blackbucks during the shooting, after which Salman Khan has continuously faced threats from the Bishnoi gang. Bishnoi community considers blackbucks sacred. Primarily vegetarians, they are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect animals, which has resulted in deep-seated enmity.
