A special court in Mumbai has issued an arrest warrant for Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of jailed criminal Lawrence Bishnoi, who is accused of shooting outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence.
It was ordered on Friday following a plea by the Mumbai police. This month’s chargesheet declared both Anmol Bishnoi and Rohit Godera as absconding offenders associated with the Bishnoi gang.
Firing Incident Related to Bishnoi Gang
The shooting happened on 14th April 2023 at Salman Khan’s house in Bandra. The actor himself was not hurt during the attack. Since then six people have been arrested including two alleged shooters Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal by Mumbai police.
Mastermind behind the attack, Lawrence Bishnoi is currently being held up at Sabarmati Central Prison in Ahmedabad while it is believed that Anmol Bishnoi and Rohit Godera are hiding out in Canada.
Crackdown on Bishnoi Gang
This non-bailable warrant marks a major breakthrough in ongoing investigation into Salman Khan firing case which further demonstrates efforts made by Mumbai Police to crackdown on several high-profile crimes connected with the infamous Bishnoi gang.
In other news, India Today had reported that this week, “I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment’s first-floor balcony. There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learnt that Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the attack from social media. So, I believe that it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing on my balcony,” according to him cited in charge sheet.
