A Facebook post, allegedly written by Anmol Bishnoi in Hindi, expressed a desire for peace but hinted at potential violence if necessary, specifically mentioning Salman Khan. The post, attributed to the 'Lawrence Bishnoi group,' served as a warning, indicating the group's capabilities. Anmol, wanted for the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, is believed to be in hiding in Canada. He faces numerous criminal charges and was released from Jodhpur jail in October 2021.
"We want peace. If the decision against oppression is by war, so be it. Salman Khan, we did this to show you the trailer. So that you understand our capabilities. Don't test us. This is the first and last warning to you. After this, the bullets won't be fired just at empty homes," the post said.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured Salman Khan of decisive action against the perpetrators and instructed the Mumbai police commissioner to enhance the actor's security. Salman resides with his family in the eight-storey Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. The Central intelligence and Delhi Police's special cell are investigating potential connections to Lawrence Bishnoi's criminal network.
CCTV footage captured the firing incident, revealing that the pillion rider was the one who fired the shots, both assailants wearing helmets. Following a complaint from Salman's private security, the Bandra police filed an attempt to murder case under the IPC and invoked provisions of the Arms Act. The case has been transferred to the crime branch for further investigation. Zonal DCP Raj Tilak Roushan reported that around 5 am, the assailants fired four to five shots into the air, with forensic experts collecting the bullets for examination, suspected to be from a 7.6 bore weapon.
Intelligence sources are monitoring the movements of individuals associated with Lawrence Bishnoi and his Europe-based aide, Rohit Godara, according to a Times of India report. Police have also spoken with Khan's family and plan to record their statements.
What Salman Khan's father said
Salman Khan's father, renowned screenwriter Salim Khan, has addressed the incident, reassuring that the family is unharmed and downplaying it as a publicity stunt orchestrated by the unidentified individuals who fired the shots. “There is nothing to tell. They just want publicity, there is no need to worry,” he told CNN News 18.
