Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from Bihar’s Purnia received a death threat allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, warning him to stay away from issues related to actor Salman Khan, reported India Today.
The anonymous caller claimed that Yadav’s movements were being closely watched and if did not heed their warnings he would be killed. Yadav, who had repeatedly ignored the calls, was told by the caller that Lawrence Bishnoi had allegedly paid ₹1 lakh per hour to disable jail jammers and contact him.

In a recorded audio message, reported India Today, the caller says, “You could have told ‘bhai’ that the media did this, not me. Settle the matter as soon as possible. I considered you an elder brother, and you’ve embarrassed me. Call back, and I’ll connect you with ‘bhai.’”
Pappu Yadav reported the threat to Bihar’s director general of police (DGP), urging immediate action.
Yadav had also condemned the Maharashtra government for the “total lawlessness” that allowed for Baba Siddique’s murder to take place in public. Labelling it a disgrace he took to social media platform X to say, “The murder of Bihar’s son, Baba Siddique, is extremely tragic. If the BJP-led government cannot protect its influential leaders, what hope is there for ordinary people?”
