Bollywood superstar Salman Khan received yet another death threat along with demand to pay up Rs 2 crore, prompting the police to launch a probe and arrest a resident of Mumbai's Bandra on Wednesday, an official said.

The Mumbai traffic police on Tuesday received an anonymous message wherein the sender threatened to kill the 58-year-old actor if he did not pay up Rs 2 crore, the official said.

The Worli police registered a case against the unidentified person and launched an investigation.

On Wednesday, police arrested a man, identified as Azam Mohammed Mustafa, a resident of Bandra (East), for allegedly issuing the latest death threat to Khan and demanding Rs 2 crore from him, he said.

The superstar resides at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra (West), a posh locality of Mumbai, where two motorbike-borne assailants had opened fire in April. -- PTI
