Shooting At Salman Khan Home Has US Link

MUMBAI (News Agencies) – A day after the brazen firing at Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s home, police have say one is Vishal from Gurugram and the other from Rajasthan, both reported to be members of the Rohit Godara’s gang.

While Vishal a.k.a. Kalu is a history-sheeter who spent time in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for thefts in 2020, the police have also identified the other shooter but have not revealed many details.

The scheme originated in the United States, where Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, entrusted the task of selecting shooters to Rohit Godara, another gangster also based in the US. This decision was likely influenced by Godara’s extensive network of professional shooters spanning several states in India, police told NDTV.

It may be recalled that at around 5 a.m. on April 15 morning, Mumbai woke up to a rude shock with at least four bullets fired at the home of Salman Khan in Galaxy Apartments in Bandra west.

Hours later, Anmol Bishnoi — the brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi — claimed responsibility for the attack in a social media post. He termed the firing incident as the ‘first and last warning’ for Salman Khan, and ominously decreed that the next time “the bullets won’t be fired at walls or an empty home”, indicating the actor would be directly targeted for a hit.

The social media post (Facebook) by Anmol Bishnoi, was purportedly on behalf of other ‘Bishnoi group’ baddies like Goldy Brar, Rohit Godara, and Kala Jathedi.

“Salman Khan, this is just to show you a trailer, to make you understand our power and not to test our patience further… this is the first and final warning to you,” the post read.

“Next time, the bullets won’t be fired at walls or empty homes. You consider Dawood Ibrahim (Kaskar) and Chhota Shakeel as your gods, but we have two dogs named after them… this hint is enough and I don’t want to say anything more,” according to Anmol Bishnoi’s post, signed off with ‘Jai Shri Ram’.

During the past two years, Salman and his father Salim have been issued death threats in different ways, including dropping a letter to the family.

Salman Khan, 58, lives with almost his entire joint family comprising parents, brothers, and their kin at the landmark Galaxy Apartments in the picturesque Bandra sea-face area.
