According to police, Singh was first spotted loitering near Khan's Bandra home at around 9:45 am. A police officer assigned to the actor's security instructed him to leave.

Frustrated by this, Singh smashed his mobile phone by hurling it to the ground. Later that same day, he gained entry into Galaxy Apartments using a vehicle belonging to another resident of the building.

However, he was once again intercepted by security personnel, who subsequently handed him over to the Bandra police, officials confirmed.

During questioning, Singh informed officers that his motive was to meet the actor. *"The police were not letting me meet him so I was trying to hide,"* he explained.

Singh, a resident of Chhattisgarh, has since been arrested and a case has been registered. Further investigations are ongoing, according to police.

Salman Khan has been under heightened security following a gunfire incident outside his home last year. His protection status was elevated to Y+ security after the attack.

On 14 April last year, two individuals on a motorbike fired four rounds at Khan's Bandra residence before fleeing the scene.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the shooting via a Facebook post, also alleging involvement in the murder of Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique - a 66-year-old politician known to be close to Khan.

Bishnoi, currently incarcerated, is embroiled in a long-standing feud with the actor and has issued multiple threats in the past. The animosity stems from the Blackbuck poaching case, as the Bishnoi community reveres Blackbucks as sacred animals.

Khan has been the target of numerous death threats over the years, particularly after his conviction in the 1998 Blackbuck shooting case.

Earlier this year, a death threat was received via a WhatsApp message sent to Mumbai's Transport Department in Worli.

In the message, the sender threatened to assassinate the actor by infiltrating his home and detonating a bomb in his car.

A case concerning this threat has been filed at Worli Police Station against an unidentified individual, officials stated.
