Salman Khan woke up to bullet shots this morning

The shameless attack unfolded as the assailants approached Salman Khan's residence at Galaxy Apartments, firing four shots while riding a motorcycle. Following the assault, the perpetrators were spotted calmly walking around the area, with one keeping a watchful eye ahead, while the other remained vigilant to the surroundings.

Is Bishnoi to be blamed?

Speculation was high about the possible involvement of the notorious Bishnoi gang and later in the day, the brother of Lawrence Bishnoi - Anmol Bishnoi claimed full responsibility for it.

The Bishnoi gang has a history of violence, with alleged involvement in the assassination of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala as well. In a Facebook post made almost five hours after the incident, Anmol had written, "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.”

The on-the-run gangster concluded his note and said, "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!" Salman Khan is yet to react to the incident.
