The Pakistani businessman who hurled vile abuses at a flight attendant and threatened to rape her is a father of three and has two wives. Salman Iftikhar, 37, was travelling from London to Lahore on the first class section of a Virgin Atlantic flight when he had a meltdown after being told to stop helping himself to ice from the onboard bar.

The request to stop taking ice sent the Pakistani businessman into a drunken rage where he verbally abused and threatened a flight attendant, saying she would be dragged out of her hotel room, gang raped and set on fire. Iftikhar has been jailed for 15 months.

 

Who is Salman Iftikhar, Pak businessman who threatened Virgin crew?

According to a Daily Mail report, Salman Iftikhar is a businessman who works in the recruitment space. He and his wife Erum Salman run a staffing company that provides training to businesses working in customer service and manufacturing. The company is based in London.

The businessman and his wife, and their children, reside in a lavish six-bedroom house in Iver, Buckinghamshire that is worth a staggering £2million ($2.6 million approximately).

Iftikhar owns a range of luxury cars, including a Range Rover, Bentley and Rolls Royce. He and his wives often travel abroad and share photographs of their extravagant lifestyle.

Pakistani businessman has two wives

While Iftikhar and Erum run a recruitment business in London, he also has a wife back in Pakistan.

The businessman is reportedly married to supermodel and actress Abeer Rizvi. The couple tied the knot five years ago, according to the Daily Mail report.

The businessman often features on Abeer Rizvi’s social media posts. On his birthday in September last year, she shared an Instagram note where she wrote: “My beloved husband , on this day I want to honour you and your unique ways.

“The most thoughtful man I know who makes the most mundane things adventurous and exhilarating. With you I have a soul connection beyond words, a bond that transcends time and circumstance.

“I am so grateful for your quiet strength with which you nurture our love and the space of peace and grace you hold. Disagreements may come and go but your love and understanding comes in abundance. I am truly grateful for being able to share this journey with you. Happy birthday my love.”

Las Vegas CEO receives bloodied pig head, threatening letter after company’s AI deal

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the delivery to the Las Vegas CEO, which contained a bloodied pig head.

A Las Vegas tech CEO received a bloodied head of a pig and a threatening letter after an AI-related story about his company was aired on a popular television news segment.

“Perhaps this person watched too much of The Godfather,” Agrippa founder Blake Owens told KLAS 8 News Now. “Needless to say, I still take it very seriously, but don’t feel like I’m being truly threatened. It was a message,” the CEO added.

What did the package contain?

According to a report by KLAS 8 News Now, the package mailed to Owens’ family home had a blood-covered severed head of a pig and a letter.

Read the full letter:

In a picture of the letter published by the outlet, the sender addresses Owens as “Clark Kent knockoff.”

“A simple google search goes a long way these days, especially in Vegas. saw your marcus video, what a joke. ‘ai’ is not going to replace brokers. clearly you don’t understand real estate wasn’t built by developers or investors,” the letter read.

“And it sure as hell wasn’t built by tech guys in lululemon. It was built by brokers. We did it the hard way. No shortcuts, no tech, just people. so enjoy your moment while it lasts. and don’t get greedy because pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered,” it continued. The letter was signed off simply with ‘M’.”

CEO on threatening package:

“I don’t want to punch down on this person; they may be in a tough spot in life,” Owens said. “I do see this as an opportunity to show people you don’t become a better person by making another man a lesser person,” he added.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the matter.
