Salim Khan Addresses Threats Against Son Salman Khan
Salim Khan, the respected screenwriter and father of Bollywood icon Salman Khan, spoke out about the recent shooting incident outside their Mumbai residence. Following a visit from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Salim Khan condemned the threats against his son, labeling the perpetrators as ‘jaahil’ (illiterate). He expressed frustration towards those who threatened Salman, stating, “What’s there to talk about these jaahil (illiterate) people who say you’ll learn your lesson when we’ll kill you.”
Salim Khan also mentioned that additional police protection had been provided to the Khan family by the Maharashtra chief minister, reassuring their safety amidst the security concerns.
Arrests and Investigations in Connection with the Incident
The Mumbai Crime Branch provided details of the shooting incident, revealing that two suspects on a motorcycle fired shots outside Salman Khan’s residence at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra before fleeing the scene. Mumbai Police took swift action by registering a case against Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who allegedly made threatening remarks on social media related to the firing incident.
- Two suspects, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal from Bihar, were arrested by Kachchh police and handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch.
- The accused were presented before Mumbai’s Killa Court and remanded to custody until April 25 for their alleged involvement in the shooting incident.
Amidst the security concerns, Salman Khan continues with his professional commitments, such as his upcoming film “Sikandar” and hosting duties on Bigg Boss OTT 3. However, the incident shed light on the alleged involvement of Vishal, an associate of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, in the shooting.
Law enforcement officials revealed that Vishal has a history of criminal activities dating back to 2016, including vehicle theft, murder, extortion, robbery, and assault. His family in Gurugram cooperated with authorities in identifying him from CCTV footage, denouncing his actions and criminal associations.
The incident highlights the ongoing feud between Lawrence Bishnoi and Salman Khan, stemming from accusations against the actor regarding a blackbuck killing in Rajasthan. Bishnoi’s gang had issued threats against Salman Khan in the past, leading to the recent shooting incident outside his Mumbai residence.
Mumbai Police’s thorough investigation, supported by CCTV footage and intelligence gathering, led to the arrest of suspects linked to the Bishnoi gang, emphasizing the collaborative efforts to combat organized crime and safeguard public figures like Salman Khan from potential harm.
