The incident, which occurred early Sunday morning, saw two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle open fire outside Galaxy Apartments, Salman Khan’s residence. After firing a total of four rounds, the assailants fled the scene. One live cartridge was recovered from the site.
Law enforcement agencies swiftly responded to the incident, with the Mumbai Crime Branch launching an investigation. Preliminary findings indicate a meticulously planned attack, as the suspects wore helmets to conceal their identities. Following the incident, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde contacted Salman Khan and Mumbai Police Commissioner to discuss the actor’s safety, recommending heightened security measures.
Subsequently, Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting outside Salman’s residence in a Facebook post. Anmol stated that it was a warning to demonstrate their power and urged Salman not to underestimate them.
For context, Salman Khan has been under Y-Plus security cover since November 2022 due to threats from gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar. He is also permitted to carry a personal firearm and recently acquired an armored vehicle for added protection.
