The statement added that later Salman learned from Lawrence Bishnoi gangster himself as well as another criminal Anmol Bishnoi through their Facebook posts that they admitted it was them who were behind such firing event.
As per official statement of this leading Bollywood personality’s office bearers “They said about having some ideas regarding shooting dead not only Salman but some of his cousins” “It accordingly means that when my relatives slept along with me last night somebody shot us without any reason for doing so.” Besides, there were many other threats made to him recently according to information obtained via interrogation of Sunil Sharma , one of those involved in this case.
“In 2022, someone left a threatening message for him on an outdoor seat located opposite our building but in March—just a year after—the Lawrence Bishnoi group sent us an email containing menace details concerning Salman Khan’s life and safety issues”.
He wrote down about the entire incident on Twitter where he stated that two strangers entered into his Panvel villa premises in January 2024 but were later exposed as being fictitious names.
Earlier this month, the police filed a 1,735 page charge sheet before the special court under MCOCA.
The court admitted the charge sheet last week and held that prima facie was satisfied with material to proceed against six accused arrested by the police.
Vickykumar Gupta, Sagarkumar Pal, Sonukumar Bishnoi (all three apprehended), whereas Mohd Rafiq Choudhary and Harpal Singh are now in judicial custody. Anujkumar Thapan is died in custody.
Thapan had allegedly committed suicide inside jail after he was taken into custody while the rest five have been sent to magisterial detention.
“Arbaaz Khan also mentioned this incident because it happened when his brother Salman Khan was not at home due to his travel commitments on that day of April 14th,” Mr. Arbaaz told authorities while turning over all relevant data related with it according to official sources of Mumbai Police.
“In view of these frequent threats which our family always faced, my father would often remind us about security measures we have to take,” said Arbaz Khan in his statement recorded with police during investigation along-with other witnesses.
“Arbaaz added that he too believed Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang members carried out the attack on April 14 to kill his family members when he went away from town.”
