The Story in Brief
A 41-year-old Mumbai police constable, Ganesh, collapsed and died of a heart attack while on duty outside actor Salman Khan's residence in Bandra. Fellow officers rushed him to a hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. The constable was part of the state protection detail assigned to Khan amid heightened security.
Khan has been under threat from jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who has vowed revenge over the actor's alleged involvement in a 1998 blackbuck hunting case. In 2024, two men fired shots outside Khan's home on Bishnoi's instructions. Telangana Today reports the constable's death is the latest cost of the high-profile security arrangement.
The Indian Opinion
Every threat to a celebrity becomes a headline, but the constable who died today is not a footnote. Ganesh, 41, was doing a job that thousands do silently. The Lawrence Bishnoi saga has been played up as a Bollywood-gangster thriller, obscuring the real cost: a family lost its breadwinner. The question nobody is asking is whether the Maharashtra government compensates the families of police personnel who die on celebrity duty exactly as it does those who die in riot control or terrorist encounters. The answer will reveal whose lives the system truly values.
