Salman Khan’s home in the Bandra neighborhood of Mumbai was targeted by five shots fired by two suspects on a motorcycle early on Sunday morning. While the police were looking into every possibility, Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of criminal Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently incarcerated, was purportedly the author of a Facebook post that claimed responsibility for the shooting.

Later in the evening, police sources named Vishal, also known as Kalu, as a suspect who had been seen on CCTV. Vishal is a gunman for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Y-plus category protection is in place for Khan and his family, who were at home when the shooting happened. It was confirmed by the police that no one was hurt in the attack. Mumbai was alerted, and to apprehend the culprits, barriers were erected on major thoroughfares.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raj Tilak Roshan of Zone 9 said, “At approximately five in the morning, two unidentified males arrived on a motorcycle and fired shots outside actor Salman Khan’s apartment before fleeing the area. Four or five bullets were fired. Fifteen police teams have been assembled to look into the matter. We are investigating every facet of the situation and hope to apprehend the gunmen shortly.

Because Khan is said to have been involved in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan, the Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang had threatened him at least twice before.

The “first and last warning” for Khan, according to Anmol Bishnoi, who is believed to be hiding in Canada and is wanted for the May 2022 murder of Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala, was the shooting, according to a Facebook post. He said, “From now on, we will not shoot at walls or empty houses.”

One of the suspects, Vishal, is thought to be employed by Bishnoi gang member and Rajasthani mobster Rohit Godara. Godara is presently operating out of Canada and is wanted in other high-profile murder cases, including Moosewala’s.

According to reports, last month in Rohtak, Vishal murdered trash trader Sachin in front of his family. The abandoned motorcycle was discovered by the police one kilometer from Khan’s home, close to a church. It was registered to a Panvel homeowner, and the police are looking into possible theft.

According to CCTV evidence, the suspects left the motorcycle at Bandra Railway Station and walked to board an autorickshaw and a local train heading north. The two may have changed clothes en route, according to the authorities.

In accordance with the Arms Act and IPC Section 307 (attempt to murder), Bandra Police have registered a complaint. The case was moved to the Crime Branch later that night.

Officers from the Crime Intelligence Unit, the Anti-Extortion Cell, and Crime Branch Unit-9 have started parallel investigations in addition to the local police. Based on a bullet casing discovered at the scene, the authorities believe a 7.6 mm bore gun was used. Samples were taken from the crime scene outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartments by forensic lab personnel.

In the wake of the shooting, security outside Salman Khan’s home has been reinforced.

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.

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.
