Following JK Rowling’s tweet condemning the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, Scotland’s police announced on Sunday that they are looking into an allegation of an “online threat” made to the novelist.

The author of Harry Potter expressed her shock at the news and expressed hope that the author would “be OK.”

One person responded, “Don’t worry, you’re next,” in response.

Rowling wrote: “To all giving supportive messages: thank you police are involved (were already involved on other threats)” after posting screenshots of the threatening tweet.

Police in Scotland said that they had received a report of an internet threat and that their officers were looking into it.

The author’s representative claims that Salman Rushdie’s “path to recovery” has started as the stabbing suspect enters a not-guilty plea.

Rushdie, 75, was about to give a speech on artistic freedom in western New York on Friday when a man rushed the podium and stabbed the Indian-born author. Rushdie has had a bounty placed on his head ever since Iran urged Muslims to kill him for his 1988 book “The Satanic Verses,” which led to the author living under house arrest.

Rushdie was on a ventilator and unable to talk as of Friday night after extensive surgery. The author of the work was also likely to lose an eye, suffer from nerve damage in his arm, and have liver injuries.

The alleged attacker of Rushdie is Hadi Matar, 24 years old, of Fairview, New Jersey. At a court hearing on Saturday, he entered a not guilty plea to the accusations of attempted murder and assault.

Tran’s activists have already lambasted Rowling and charged her with trans phobia.
