New Delhi, November 13

The accused was identified as Faizan Khan (42). Faizan was summoned by the Mumbai police in connection with the threat call to Shah Rukh Khan but he failed to appear before them.
Faizan Khan claimed that his phone was stolen and someone else made the call to the Mumbai police and gave threats to frame him.
As per the case details, the Bandra police station in Mumbai received the threat call from a person who identified himself as ‘Hindustani’ and told the police that he was standing outside SRK's Bandra home ‘Mannat’ and if he is not paid Rs 50 lakh he could kill him.
The Mumbai police later found that the call came from a mobile number registered in the name of Faizan Khan from Raipur. After the police located Faizan, he told them that his mobile phone was stolen on November 2 which is co incidentally Khan's birthday.
The lawyer also filed a complaint with the local police saying his phone had been stolen.
The Mumbai police then served him a notice asking him to come to Mumbai and join the investigation.
Faizan had earlier complained to the Mumbai police against Shah Rukh Khan over a dialogue in his movie Anjaam (1994) referring to deer hunting.
