Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan received a death threat, wherein the caller demanded Rs 50 lakh, the Mumbai police said on Thursday.

The police have registered an extortion case and summoned a lawyer from Chhattisgarh in connection with the threat.

The lawyer from Raipur was summoned as the threat call was made from a phone number registered in his name, a senior police official from the Chhattisgarh capital said. However, the lawyer told the police that he had lost his phone last week and had filed a police complaint, an official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
