Gunshots heard outside Salman Khan house. Early Sunday morning, the tranquility of Bandra was shattered by the sound of gunshots fired outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence, Galaxy Apartments. Five rounds were discharged by two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle, sending shockwaves through the city and raising concerns about the actor's safety.
Time: Approximately 5:00 AM
Location: Outside Galaxy Apartments, Bandra, Mumbai
Attackers: Two individuals on a motorcycle, wearing helmets for concealment
Target: Salman Khan's residence
Outcome: No injuries reported; investigation underway
The Bandra police swiftly responded to the incident and are currently in the process of filing a First Information Report (FIR). Adding further weight to the investigation, the local police's crime branch has also launched a parallel inquiry. Authorities are diligently reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity to identify and track down the perpetrators.
This alarming incident follows previous threats made against Salman Khan by notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. In September 2023, the Mumbai police had heightened security measures for the actor and advised vigilance after Bishnoi's menacing Facebook post. The post, claiming responsibility for a shooting at Punjabi singer-actor Gippy Grewal's residence in Canada, contained explicit threats towards Khan, mentioning his association with Dawood Ibrahim and referencing the death of Sidhu Moose Wala.
Furthermore, in March 2023, Bishnoi allegedly sent a threatening email to the actor, further solidifying a potential link between the gangster and Sunday's shooting.
As investigations continue, the motive behind the attack remains unclear. The incident has undoubtedly heightened concerns about the safety of celebrities and the audacity of criminal elements. The authorities are working tirelessly to apprehend the culprits and ensure the safety of Salman Khan and the public.
