Salman Khan: According to police sources, the two men who were seen on CCTV firing bullets outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s home in Mumbai on Sunday are thought to be from Gurugram, Haryana, and are members of criminal Lawrence Bishnoi’s group. One of the males, named Vishal, is purportedly connected to the infamous Rohit Godara, a member of the Bishnoi gang who has a history of violent acts.
Vishal is wanted in connection with the March murder of businessman Sachin Munjal, who was headquartered in Gurugram, according to police sources. According to reports, Rohit Godara, who is presently living abroad, admitted to killing Munjal in a social media post.
Both people were wearing headgear and had backpacks, according to CCTV evidence. The video also had them shooting in the direction of the actor’s house. A white t-shirt, black jacket, and denim pants were worn by one of the suspects, while a red t-shirt and denim pants were worn by the other.
The two suspects had been on a reconnaissance operation near Mr.Khan’s apartment building, Galaxy Apartments, before the attack. Following the abandonment of their getaway vehicle, a possibly stolen motorcycle outside Bandra’s Mount Mary Church, the two suspects are said to have escaped by riding a rickshaw to the Bandra railway station. According to the authorities, both of them have fled the city and are currently at large.
The actor’s house was just over a kilometer away from where the police found their two-wheeler.
Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, took credit for the gunshot incident outside Mr. Khan’s home after it happened. He described it as a “preview” and warned the Bollywood actor in an online post.
The actor has received a message from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who promises to support him unconditionally and to defend the law.
Citing the actor’s notorious 1998 black buck hunting incident, which the gangster said angered the Bishnoi community, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed last year that Mr. Salman Khan topped the list of 10 primary targets that the incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi sought to eliminate.
Bishnoi disclosed that Sampat Nehra, one of his goons, had monitored Mr. Khan’s Bandra home, setting the ground for a possible hit. But the Haryana Police’s Special Task Force managed to apprehend Nehra.
After receiving another threat call on April 11 of last year, Mumbai Police raised Mr. Khan’s security level to Y+. A lookout circular (LOC) was sent to an Indian student in the UK for allegedly sending Mr.Salman Khan a threatening email.
