In a shocking incident early Sunday morning, gunshots were fired outside the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan. CCTV footage leaked online shows two men wearing helmets fleeing the scene on a motorcycle.
The incident occurred around 5 am when two unidentified individuals on a motorbike opened fire outside Galaxy Apartments, where Salman Khan resides. Four rounds were fired, with one bullet hitting the actor’s wall.
Following the incident, the Crime Branch and a Forensic Team, including ballistics experts, arrived at the scene. During their examination, they discovered at least one bullet mark on the gate of the building entrance.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the two men fleeing the scene immediately after the shots were fired. Authorities are currently scanning CCTV footage in the area to identify the shooters and determine their motives and intended targets.
Sources close to the investigation have revealed that the firearm used in the shooting was a 7.6-bore gun. Police analysis has also provided insight into the physical characteristics of the suspects, indicating an approximate height of 5.8 feet for both individuals.
As part of the ongoing investigation, Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) from all CCTV cameras positioned outside Khan’s residence and the surrounding areas have been seized.
While suspicions suggest potential involvement with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, authorities have yet to confirm these reports.
Salman Khan and his family were reportedly at home during the attack. The incident occurred shortly after the family had celebrated Ramzan Eid. Over the years, Salman has received multiple death threats, particularly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang following the 1998 blackbuck poaching incident in Rajasthan. Notably, this is the first time assailants have opened fire at his residence.
After receiving threats, Salman was granted Y+ security. In February 2024, the security cover was extended to his family members following a fresh threat received in November 2023.
Fans have expressed outrage over the incident, questioning the security measures in place.
Authorities are actively investigating the incident, and further updates are awaited as the story develops.
