The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the recent gunfire at Bollywood star Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai. Anumol Bishnoi, Lawrence's brother, confirmed their involvement in the attack through a social media post, warning that this was just a "trailer" and the "picture is yet to come." He stated this was the final warning and that they were responsible for the shooting this time.
The incident occurred in front of Galaxy Apartments, located in the Bandra area of Mumbai, where Salman Khan resides. According to reports, two assailants fired four rounds at the building. Both the crime branch and local police rushed to the scene to investigate, supported by forensic experts. Last year, Salman received threatening emails, which were investigated by Mumbai Police, leading to an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed that Salman Khan's name was on their target list. The hostility towards Salman by the Bishnoi community dates back to the 2018 blackbuck poaching case, where Salman was accused of hurting their sentiments. In April 2023, similar threats were made, prompting the Maharashtra government to upgrade Salman's security from 'X' to 'Y+' grade, ensuring he has two armed guards at all times.
The incident took place around 5 AM on Sunday, and in response, security measures around Salman's home have been significantly tightened.
