Accused Faizan Khan Claims His Phone Was Stolen; Says He Is Being Framed
Faizan Khan, a Raipur-based advocate, claimed that his phone was stolen on November 2. He filed a complaint regarding the theft and alleged that the death threat made to Shah Rukh Khan was by someone who misused his phone. Khan has denied any involvement in the threat.
On November 5, Shah Rukh Khan received a death threat and a demand for Rs 50 lakh through a call to Bandra Police Station. The caller, traced to advocate Faizan Khan, has now claimed that he was being framed due to a legal case he had filed against Khan over a controversial dialogue from the 1994 film Anjaam.
Faizan, a lawyer from Chhattisgarh, denied any involvement in the death threat against Shah Rukh. He explained that his phone had been stolen on November 2, and suggested that the threatening call may have been made by someone misusing his phone. He insisted he was being wrongly framed in the situation.
He further revealed that he had previously filed a complaint against Shah Rukh Khan, accusing the actor of promoting religious enmity. The complaint, lodged at Bandra Police Station, was based on a scene from the 1994 film Anjaam, where Shah Rukh Khan’s character is shown discussing a deer’s body in his vehicle with his servant. Khan claimed that this scene incited tension between religious groups.
Faizan also claimed that SRK might have ties to suspicious individuals, though he did not provide any concrete proof to support this accusation.
Faizan Khan told India Today that he had lost his phone and had already filed a complaint about it. When the Mumbai police visited his home regarding the threat call, he clarified that he was unaware of who made the call, emphasizing his innocence in the matter.
He mentioned that he was questioned by the police for over two hours and clarified that the WhatsApp linked to his phone was being accessed from a different device. He stated that the call was made using the SIM card of his stolen phone, not via WhatsApp. Khan also suggested that the police track the phone used to make the threat call, as he was in court when it occurred.
