• Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang claimed the attack.
• Sukkha, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was detained in Haryana’s Panipat.
• The court denied bail to shooter Vicky Gupta, who was arrested on October 18.

On April 14 this year, two men fired gunshots at Salman Khan’s residence, Galaxy Apartment, in Bandra, Mumbai. Later, Salman stated that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang carried out the attack. Recently, authorities detained a shooter named Sukkha, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, in Haryana’s Panipat in connection with the actor’s house firing case. Now, a Mumbai court has declared that the shooters fired at Salman’s residence with the ‘intention’ to kill him and were instigated by Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol.

According to PTI, the Mumbai court stated that the attackers intended to kill Salman Khan after jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol, instigated them. The court also denied bail to one of the accused in the house firing case.

On October 18, special judge B.D. Shelke, who oversees cases under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), refused bail to shooter Vicky Gupta. The report indicates that the reasoned order became available on October 21.

Referring to the transcript of a call recording between Gupta and wanted accused Anmol Bishnoi, the court said, “It shows that on instigation and as per directions of Anmol, accused number 1 [Gupta] and 2 [Sagar Pal] have committed these acts.”

In the court order, Judge Shelke stated that the FIR shows two people arriving on a motorcycle, and the pillion rider fired gunshots at the first floor of Salman’s residence, Galaxy Apartment.

Quoting Mr. Khan’s statement, the court said that it demonstrates that “being a celebrity, there are many fans of him from society, and he used to come to the gallery on the first floor of his house to greet them.” “Even in the early morning he used to stay in the gallery on the first floor of his house,” the court added.

In its order, the court further shared that “the shots were fired in the direction of his place of use in his house,” as per Khan’s statement and what FIR suggests at this stage.

According to the chargesheet filed by the police, authorities have classified Lawrence Bishnoi as a wanted accused. An earlier report indicates that police arrested both Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal in Gujarat for the gunshot attack at Salman’s residence.
