As per Indian media reports, Faizan Khan, a lawyer from Chhattisgarh, who was arrested in connection with a death threat to Shah Rukh Khan, had also targeted SRK’s son, Aryan. Investigations revealed that Khan’s phone contained searches linked to the actor’s security and his son’s movements.
The threat against Shah Rukh Khan came after he received a life-threatening call at his production office, Red Chillies Entertainment. Police traced the number to Faizan Khan, who had previously filed a complaint against the actor. Though the accused initially claimed that his phone was stolen before the threat call, further investigation revealed that Khan had purchased the phone days before the threat and did not attempt to deactivate the sim or track the device, casting doubt on his claims.
Police also discovered that Khan had conducted extensive online searches regarding Shah Rukh Khan’s security arrangements and Aryan’s movements. The accused used an app to obtain the landline number of the Bandra Police Station, which he then used to make the threatening call. When questioned about his searches, Khan could not provide a plausible explanation for gathering such sensitive information.
