Salman Khan Breaking News: According to ANI, four members of the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang were detained by the Navi Mumbai Police on Saturday for reportedly plotting to attack Bollywood star Salman Khan‘s vehicle in Panvel. An FIR was filed against 17 individuals connected to the affair, including Goldy Brar, Sampat Nehra, Anmol Bishnoi, and Lawrence Bishnoi.
The accused who was arrested by the police was reportedly planning to obtain weapons from Pakistan, attack Salman Khan, and then flee to Sri Lanka.
Dhananjay, also known as Ajay Kashyap, Waspi Khan, also known as Wasim Chikna, Rizwan Khan, also known as Javed Khan, and Gaurav Bhatia, also known as Nahvi, are the four people who were taken into custody by the Mumbai Police.
According to the police, the suspects had conducted a reconnaissance of Salman Khan‘s home and farm in preparation for the attack. Accused Ajay Kashyap used a video chat to speak with a Dogar in Pakistan, where AK-47s and other weapons were.
The police were informed that Salman Khan was being watched by roughly 60 to 70 lads who were part of Sampat Nehra’s and Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang and who came from Mumbai, Raigad, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune, and Gujarat.
The intention was to utilise children to harm Salman Khan and then escape the country, according to a statement released by the Navi Mumbai Police. The accused intended to escape from Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, to Sri Lanka via boat.
This comes weeks after two men riding bikes opened fire at Salman Khan‘s Bandra apartment complex, Galaxy Apartments. One of the individuals was seen firing towards Khan’s house outside the housing society on April 14 in CCTV footage from the incident.
Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, two men from Gujarat, were taken into custody. It was thought that the two were members of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. Anuj Thapan, the third accused, was taken into custody in April. On May 1, though, the third accused, Thapan, passed away inside the Mumbai police’s crime section lockup’s lavatory.
