Mumbai, April 14 (UNI) Two unidentified persons opened fire outside Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s Bandra home on Sunday at 5 a.m. and ran away on their motorcycles, officials said.
According to reports, the two unknown persons sporting helmets came speeding on a motorcycle and fired at least four shots in the direction of Galaxy Apartment in the Bandra area of Mumbai Suburban.
It was not immediately known if Salman Khan was at home or not on a weekend holiday.
A Bandra Police team and Mumbai crime branch immediately rushed to the Khan house and started investigations, while the roads leading to the actor’s residence were cordoned off and security was tightened in the vicinity.
A team of forensic experts from Kalina Police Lab has reached the spot and recovered two bullets while police are scanning the CCTV footage in the area to trace out the shooters and check their motives and targets, sources in police said.
They also said police suspect the involvement of the Lawrance Bishnoi gang, as Salman Khan is under threat from certain Punjab-based mafia groups like the Bishnoi gang.
In the past couple of years, he and his father, Salim Khan, have been issued death threats in different ways, including dropping a letter to the family.
