Mumbai:
A 23-year-old man illegally entered Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai - Galaxy Apartments - earlier this week, police said on Thursday. The man, identified as Jitendra Kumar Singh, entered the house on May 20 at around 7:15 pm.
According to the police, Singh was first seen roaming around Mr Khan's house in Bandra around 9:45 am. The police officer deployed for Mr Khan's security asked him to leave. Angered by this, Singh threw his mobile phone on the ground and broke it. The same day in the evening, Singh entered the Galaxy Apartments in a car belonging to a person living in the same building. However, he was stopped by the police again, and this time, they handed him over to the Bandra police, officials said.
During interrogation, Singh told the police that he wanted to meet the actor. "The police were not letting me meet him so I was trying to hide," he said.
Singh, a resident of Chhattisgarh, was arrested, and a case was filed against him. Further investigation is underway, the police said.
Salman Khan has been under a high security cover since the attack at his house last year. He was upgraded to Y+ security after the firing incident.
On April 14 last year, two bike-borne men fired four rounds of gunshots at Mr Khan's Bandra residence and fled the spot.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang had claimed responsibility for the firing in a Facebook post and also said it was responsible for Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique's murder - the 66-year-old politician who was known to be close to Salman Khan. The gangster, who is in prison, has a long-standing feud with the actor and has issued him multiple threats in the past. The feud originates from the Blackbuck shooting case as the Bishnoi community considers Blackbucks sacred.
Mr Khan has also received many death threats over the past years, especially after he was convicted in the 1998 Blackbuck shooting case.
Earlier this year, he received a death threat through a WhatsApp message sent to Mumbai's Transport Department in Worli. In the threatening message, the accused warned to kill the actor by entering his house and blowing up his car with a bomb.
A case has been filed at the Worli Police Station against an unknown person who sent the message, officials said.

EPFO promise turns into nightmare: Retired Mumbai man duped of Rs 1.4 crore over 1.5 years by fake CBI and PF officials; probe on
Representative image MUMBAI: A former state govt employee was cheated of Rs 1.4 crore by cyber scammers who first led him to believe that he was interacting with a provident fund (PF) official and then scared him into thinking the official was arrested by the CBI. The 73-year-old complainant made payments for 1.5 years before realising that he had been taken for a ride and the documents sent to him were bogus. The west cyber police have registered an FIR and are investigating further. The complainant lives in Andheri with his family. In May 2023, he got a phone call purportedly from the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), New Delhi. The caller introduced himself as Alok Mehta. He told the complainant his PF dues were pending with the organisation and he could claim them once he paid Rs 7,230 as security charges. After the complainant paid the money, Mehta sent him a letter purportedly from the ministry of finance over WhatsApp. The letter had a govt of India seal on it and the complainant was convinced of its authenticity. The document said he would receive Rs 63.08 lakh if he made a payment of Rs 3.8 lakh. Over the next 10 months, Mehta and two other "EPFO representatives" Sunita Tiwari and one Chakraborty stayed in touch with the complainant and got him to pay Rs 60 lakh under various pretexts. In March 2024, the complainant got a phone call from one Mahi Sharma who claimed to be an officer with the CBI's Mumbai office. She said Mehta had been arrested by the CBI for misappropriation of funds and the complainant's PF file had now come to the CBI for scrutiny. The complainant was left shaken. Sharma assured him his PF dues would be paid to him once she completed a thorough probe into his case. Subsequently, she sent him a cheque of his PF dues, but warned him to pay 30% as taxes. She also asked for charges towards issuing him a no-objection certificate as his PF dues were exceeding a crore. The complainant kept making payments as instructed by Sharma till Nov 2024. When he presented the cheque for encashing, he was told it was counterfeit. He approached cops. Police filed an FIR on May 28 and will probe who operated the bank accounts into which the funds were transferred.

FEFKA's B Unnikrishnan shares update on Unni Mukundan and Vipin Kumar dispute: ‘It's settled'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) The long-standing dispute between actor Unni Mukundan and his former manager Vipin Kumar appears to have been resolved. As reported by Asianet News, FEFKA General Secretary B. Unnikrishnan confirmed that the two parties were brought together for a discussion and that the matter was amicably settled. He stated that the organization had not received any formal complaint against Vipin, and reiterated that no actresses have filed complaints either. 'The matter is outside our scope now…' B. Unnikrishnan further clarified that the union would not intervene in the police complaint filed by Vipin against Unni Mukundan. He also dismissed Unni's previous remarks that Vipin was never his manager and that complaints were pending against him within the organization, stating those claims were inaccurate. 'The matter is outside our scope now, as it is with the police,' he added. Vipin Kumar had earlier alleged in his police complaint that Unni Mukundan physically assaulted him after he posted a social media message praising Tovino Thomas's film Narivetta. According to Vipin, the actor was reportedly frustrated over the lack of film opportunities post-'Marco', and reacted aggressively during a confrontation. 'I did fling his cooling glasses in the heat of the moment' In response, Unni Mukundan publicly refuted all accusations, labeling them as part of an orchestrated smear campaign. He strongly denied any physical assault, stating that the only thing he did during the altercation was throw Vipin's sunglasses. 'There was a verbal disagreement. I did fling his cooling glasses in the heat of the moment, and I won't deny that. But there was no physical violence,' Unni Mukundan said during a press meet. Unni Mukundan drops a throwback audition tape The actor also clarified that he has never made any negative remarks about fellow actor Tovino Thomas, whom he considers a close friend. Expressing disappointment over Vipin's actions, Unni said he was hurt by the betrayal from someone he once considered a friend. Unni Mukundan concluded by alleging that Vipin is not a FEFKA member and that some complaints had emerged against him in other contexts, but were not formally registered with the association.
