Trigger warning: This article has mentions of firing, murder and weapons.

Salman Khan's security has been beefed up and the authorities are on their toes after two unknown gunmen opened fire outside the actor's house on Sunday morning (April 14). Much to everyone's assumption, this threat has also seemingly arrived from Khan's old arch-rival Lawrence Bishnoi.

Anmol Bishnoi claims responsibility for opening fire outside Salman Khan's house

In a purported post shared by a recently activated Facebook account, Anmol, who happens to be jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, claimed responsibility for the entire fiasco. Calling it just a trailer, Anmol wrote in Hindi, "We want peace. If the only decision against oppression is war, then so be it. Salman Khan, we have only shown you a trailer so that you understand the magnitude of our strength and do not test it. This is the first and last warning.”

He added, "Also, we have two pet dogs named after Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel, whom your consider your Gods. I don't want to say much. Jai Shri Ram!"

Who is Anmol Bishnoi and where is he now?

Reports say that Anmol is currently in California and is a co-accused in the murder case of Sidhu Moosewala along with his jailed brother Lawrence. Anmol reportedly fled out of India on a fake passport right after Sidhu’s murder. Despite being traced in Azerbaijan last year, Anmol managed to escape.

Last spotted at a US wedding, Anmol traveled with a fake passport which named him Bhanu Pratap from Rohtak, Haryana. The Facebook post in reference was shared around 11:30 am today, almost five hours after the firing incident. Lawrence Bishnoi is yet to comment on the entire fiasco.

Salman Khan's conflict with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi traces its origins back several years to the infamous blackbuck poaching incident. The actor faced allegations of hunting and unlawfully killing two blackbucks in Rajasthan while filming Hum Saath Saath Hain in 1998. Subsequently, he received a five-year prison sentence, though he was soon released on bail.

The Bishnoi community worships Blackbuck and that’s why Lawrence has been seeking an unconditional apology from Salman on the same.
