Patrolling outside actor Salman Khan’s apartment at Bandstand in Bandra (west) was increased in June and security given to the actor has been beefed up after a threat letter was found near his residence Sunday morning.
Actor Akshay Kumar has been provided X category security, which means he will be guarded by three personal security officers in three shifts. The actor was granted security as he was being targeted on social media based on his nationality.
Actor Anupam Kher has X category security following threats he received after the release of the film The Kashmir Files.
