Mumbai: Anmol Bishnoi, brother of Lawrence Bishnoi, a gangster currently in prison, has claimed responsibility for the gunfire incident outside Bollywood star Salman Khan‘s residence on Sunday. In a purported social media declaration, Anmol referred to the shooting as a “trailer”.
The social media message claimed to be from Anmol, who is wanted in India and allegedly hiding in US, came to fore. “We want peace. If the only decision against oppression is war, then so be it. Salman Khan, we have only shown you a trailer so that you understand the magnitude of our strength and do not test it. This is the first and last warning. After this, shots will not be fired outside the house only. And we have dogs named after Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Shakeel, whom you consider to be Gods. Now, I don’t have the habit of talking much,” the post read.
In the early hours of Sunday, gunshots reportedly reverberated the throughfares near Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence, the police have heightened the security measures around the star’s house. Last year, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed that Khan is in Lawrence’s list of targets. This resentment stems from a 1998 incident wherein Khan was caught up in the alleged hunting of a blackbuck, an act deemed disrespectful by the Bishnoi community.
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde reacted on the incident said, “This is an unfortunate incident. Police are investigating it. The accused will be caught and stringent action will be taken against them. Those who take the law into their own hands won’t be spared. Mumbai Police Commissioner has been informed to assess the security of Salman Khan and his entire family & increase the security. I have also spoken with Salman Khan too.
