However, there is no truth to the claims.In an exclusive interaction with International Business Times, Salman Khan's team has called the reports fake and misleading. Salman Khan's team has categorically rubbished all such rumors and called Salman's association with the ongoing controversy baseless. 

The various YouTube channels and tweets have also said that the Turkish government has also announced their Rs.5 crore reward for the girl. But, as per a report in Factly, there is no official statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or Republic of Turkey or the Embassy of Turkey in Delhi. And it seems to be nothing more than a communal angle added by hate mongers to the ongoing controversy.
