According to PTI, an official source in the Delhi Police said that one of the two suspects is believed to be a criminal from Gurugram. He is wanted for several killings and robberies in Haryana and is also a suspect in the murder of Sachin Munjal, who is a businessman, in March. The suspect is said to be closely associated with gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, his brother Anmol, and Goldy Brar.
Salim Khan reacts to firing incident
After the incident, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan reacted and told CNN News 18, “There is nothing to tell. They just want publicity, there is no need to worry.” Moreover, Khan’s friend Rahul Narain Kanal also told the paparazzi while exiting from Khan’s residence, “Dua hai upar vale ki (It is almighty’s blessings), Bhai is all good.”
Why Salman Khan is on Lawrence Bishnoi's target?
Last year, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that Salman Khan topped the list of 10 main targets that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, citing the actor's 1998 black buck hunting incident, which according to the gangster, offended the Bishnoi community.
According to Mumbai Police, more than 10 teams of Mumbai Crime Branch are involved in the investigation. Since 2022, Salman has been assigned Y+ security cover by the Maharashtra Police.
