We have some new information on the Shah Rukh Khan death threat scare. The actor was being stalked by a man named Faizan Khan who is now under custody for allegedly sending the superstar death threats and demanding extortion.
Investigations have found out that Faizan used to conduct “thorough online searches” to gather details about Shah Rukh Khan's family's security cover and movements. He also tracked the movements of the actor and his son, Aryan Khan.

Faizan Khan is the stalker behind death threats to Shah Rukh Khan
As per a report in TOI, the information was discovered through a forensic analysis of Faizan's second mobile phone, which was recovered by the Bandra Police investigation team.
Faizan has been dubious with his answers and every time he answers the police, he has a different version to tell. The stalker has been under judicial custody for ten days. As a security measure, Shah Rukh Khan and eldest son Aryan have been given Y-plus security cover by the Maharashtra government.
It so happened that the Mumbai police received an anonymous call with a threat to the life of Shah Rukh Khan, along with a demand for Rs 50 lakh extortion, on November 7. The police traced the call to Raipur and found that the phone belonged to Faizan Khan.
When caught, Faizan initially said that it wasn’t him as his phone had been stolen. He told the police that he was being framed by someone.
Faizan Khan is a lawyer by profession. He was arrested in connection to the case on November 12. He has been placed in police custody till November 18 and then in further judicial custody for two weeks. Notably, Faizan had earlier complained to Mumbai police against Shah Rukh Khan over a dialogue in his movie Anjaam (1994) about deer hunting.
