Unraveling the Mystery: Mumbai Police Investigate Tragic Death of Suspect in Salman Khan House Firing Case.
Salman Khan House : In a startling development, Mumbai Police disclosed on Wednesday that one of the suspects implicated in the Salman Khan firing case, who purportedly attempted suicide while in police custody, has tragically passed away. The individual in question was found hanging in the lock-up’s restroom using a bedsheet and was swiftly rushed to GT Hospital, where medical personnel pronounced him dead during treatment.
Identified as 32-year-old Anuj Thapan, the deceased had been arrested on charges of supplying weapons to the two assailants involved in the gunfire outside Salman Khan‘s Mumbai residence. Reports suggest that Thapan made the suicide attempt while under police watch, prompting immediate intervention and transfer to GT Hospital, where his condition was described as critical.
Confirming the incident, Mumbai Police stated, “One of the accused in DCB CID CR No 39/2024, namely Anuj Thapan, has reportedly attempted suicide. He has been admitted to Hospital.”
Thapan, along with accomplice Sonu Subhash Chander (37), was apprehended by Mumbai Police on April 25 in Punjab following the shooting incident outside Salman Khan‘s Bandra residence on April 14. Thankfully, the shooting resulted in no injuries or casualties, as two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle discharged four rounds outside Galaxy Apartments, where Salman Khan was present at the time.
Prompt police action led to the capture of the shooters, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, from Gujarat’s Bhuj. Subsequent investigations and information provided by the detained gunmen led to the arrest of Thapan and Chander, shedding light on their alleged involvement in the crime.
superstar Salman Khan recently announced his next film Sikandar and booked the Eid 2025 slot for the upcoming action thriller, to be directed by Ghajini filmmaker AR Murugadoss. The new project is backed by Sajid Nadiadwala.
