Salman Khan’s residence witnessed firing recently, shocking fans nationwide. The incident raised concerns as such events outside the homes of prominent figures like Salman are rare and alarming for the industry. The police swiftly initiated an investigation into the matter.
Arbaaz Khan, Salman’s brother, expressed distress on social media, stating, “Our entire family is in shock and disturbed by the recent firing incident outside Galaxy Apartments by two unknown motorcyclists.” Subsequently, a significant update emerged in the case.
The perpetrators who fired outside Salman’s residence had practiced firearms there. On April 14, at 4:50 AM, unidentified assailants fired five rounds outside Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, where Salman resides. One bullet hit the balcony’s net, with its shell found there. Salman often greets his fans from this balcony.
The police arrested two individuals named Vicky Gupta (24) and Sagar Pal (21), apprehended from Bhuj, Gujarat, in connection with the firing incident. Shockingly, investigations revealed that before firing outside Salman’s residence, Vicky and Sagar had practiced firearms in Champaran, Bihar. The police disclosed that the duo received gun supplies just hours before the shooting on the night of April 13. Additionally, another individual from Haryana was arrested in connection with the case.
In a Facebook post, Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the attack on Salman. Bishnoi allegedly communicated directly with the arrested sharpshooters, Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, through internet calling. They were paid Rs. 1 lakh in advance for the task and promised an additional Rs. 3 lakh upon completion. Following Bishnoi’s directives, they fired shots at Salman’s Galaxy Apartments on April 14.
Earlier, Mumbai Crime Branch officials informed the Intelligence Bureau that Salman Khan often visits Arpita Farms, located 60 kilometers from Mumbai. Both sharpshooters, hailing from Bihar, rented a house in Harigram area, 10 kilometers from the farmhouse, where they also practiced on the farmhouse’s premises.
