The arrested accused who issued a death threat to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan earlier this month reportedly targeted his elder son Aryan Khan as well.
As reported by Indian media, arrested suspect Faizan Khan, a lawyer from Chhattisgarh, had Shah Rukh Khan’s first-born son Aryan on the radar as well, as his mobile phone had searches related to the superstar’s security team and his son’s movement.
Notably, after SRK received a life-threat call at his production company Red Chillies Entertainment’s office in Mumbai, the police traced the phone number to Raipur-based lawyer, Faizan Khan, who previously filed a complaint against the actor as well.
The officials took Faizan into arrest and secured a transit remand against the suspect, who in his defence claimed that his phone was stolen three days before the said call.
However, in the latest development, the police have now learned that the accused had purchased the mobile phone just days before the threat call and inserted the sim, which was not deactivated after the phone was stolen as claimed, nor any attempt was made by the owner to locate the phone. The investigation also suggests that the suspect tried to hide the phone himself after the crime.
