Actor Salman Khan has submitted an application to Mumbai Police seeking a weapon licence for personal protection, said Mumbai Police.
This comes after Salman and his father Salim Khan received a death threat letter last month.
A video showed Salman leaving the office of Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar on Friday.
His visit to the police headquarters was for physical verification before the licensing authority, a mandatory step in applying for a gun licence, sources said.
Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan had received a threat letter in early June, just days after Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead by members of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who had threatened the actor in 2018 too.
Lawrence Bishnoi's death threat to Salman Khan was linked to the black buck poaching case of 1998, in which the actor was one of the accused.
The actor's father had found the unsigned letter on a bench where he sits daily after jogging in the morning.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who had been serving time in Delhi's Tihar Jail, is in Punjab Police custody in connection with the investigation into the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala.
