The two men who opened fire outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai were arrested from Bhuj in Gujarat on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Vicky Sahab Gupta and Sagar Shrijogendra Pal, the residents of Masihi in West Champaran district of Bihar.
According to reports, police located both the accused, who were involved in the firing incident outside Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai’s Bandra on Sunday, in Bhuj district in Gujarat.
It is worth mentioning here that on April 14, at around 5 am, the bike-borne men fired several rounds in the air outside Salman Khan’s home in Bandra and fled from the spot.
After receiving information about the incident, Mumbai Police has launched a probe into the matter. The cops are trying to track down the individual who fired the shots.
As per reports given by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) yesteryear, Salman topped the list of 10 main targets that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi planned to eliminate, citing the actor’s infamous 1998 black buck hunting incident, which according to the gangster, offended the Bishnoi community.
Earlier, Lawrence Bishnoi revealed that his henchman, Sampat Nehra, had surveilled Salman Khan’s Bandra residence. However, he was nabbed by the Special Task Force of Haryana Police.
It is worth mentioning here that Mumbai Police escalated Salman Khan’s security status to Y+, following another threat call made on April 11 last year.
In the work front, Salman Khan announced his upcoming film ‘Sikandar’ on the occasion of Eid. Helmed by AR Murudagoss, the film is likely to make its theatrical debut on Eid 2025. The film is being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
