Salman Khan alleges Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang targeted him in a firing incident.
The Bollywood superstar recounted to authorities that he was startled awake by a noise resembling that of a firecracker in the early hours of April 14 while he was asleep at his residence in Galaxy Apartments. It was his police bodyguard who informed him shortly before 5:00 am that two individuals on a motorcycle had fired shots targeting the first-floor balcony of his residence.
In his statement to the police, Salman Khan emphasized that members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had previously discussed plans to harm him and his relatives. He expressed his belief that the firing incident was a deliberate attempt by Lawrence Bishnoi, aided by his associates, to carry out their threats by targeting his family while they were asleep.
The incident has stirred significant concern and speculation, particularly within the entertainment industry and among Salman Khan’s fanbase.
