  "account": "Film producer Amit Jani accused unidentified armed men of attempting to force his SUV to stop at gunpoint in Sonipat district of Haryana while he was traveling with four others from Jammu to Noida. Jani reported the incident to Kundli police station. The police are currently investigating his claims by reviewing CCTV footage. No FIR has been filed yet. Jani, who produced and wrote the film \"Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy\" currently facing a legal dispute with actor Salman Khan, has faced previous threats from a rival faction of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. According to his complaint, the incident took place around 8:28 pm on Sunday when a white car began tailing his vehicle, eventually forcing him to slow down. Jani asked his driver to speed up, but the car followed them, flashing a weapon before continuing its pursuit until they reached the Kundli-Palwal-Manesar highway. Jani, who has received Y-category security from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, claimed he had been receiving threats for over a year and stated that he had sought protection from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The Delhi High Court recently requested Salman Khan's response to Jani's application seeking a stay on proceedings in the actor's suit demanding a hold on the release of Jani's film. The court issued the notice after Jani argued that the legal dispute over the film significantly overlaps with a separate personality-rights case filed by the actor. Khan has sought restrictions on the film's release, which is reportedly based on Khan's life. Jani's recent application claims that proceeding with both matters independently would lead to parallel litigation over the same film, its promotional materials, and alleged violations of his personality or publicity rights.",
