Bishnoi issues warning following biker attack on Salman's residence in Bandra
PTC News Desk: In the early hours of Sunday, a startling incident unfolded outside the residence of Bollywood icon Salman Khan in Bandra West. Two assailants on a motorcycle unleashed a fusillade of bullets, aiming towards Khan's apartment. Fortunately, neither the actor nor his family suffered injuries, but the incident has rattled nerves and raised concerns over security.
The attackers, their identities cloaked behind helmets, fired several rounds, with two bullets directed towards Khan's balcony. Despite the late hour, the shots reverberated through the quiet streets, prompting security guards to investigate. By the time they reached the scene, the assailants had fled, leaving behind five bullet casings and a live round, evidence of their brazen intent.
In a chilling development, Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the attack through a social media post. His message bore a stark warning to Khan, asserting that this was merely a prelude to more violence if Khan disregarded their demands. The ominous tone of the message underscored the seriousness of the threat looming over Khan and his family.
This is not the first time the Bishnoi gang has targeted Khan. The feud traces back to 2018 when the gang accused Khan of offending religious sentiments over a past incident involving a black buck. Since then, tensions have simmered, culminating in this latest act of aggression.
Law enforcement agencies have sprung into action, launching a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the culprits. The Mumbai police, joined by specialised units like the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), are combing through evidence and analysing CCTV footage to track down the perpetrators. The urgency of the situation is evident, with authorities treating the incident with utmost seriousness.
The meticulous planning evident in the attack indicates a calculated strategy on the part of the assailants. They navigated the streets with precision, executing their plan before disappearing into the night. Despite the challenges posed by limited surveillance footage and obscured identities, law enforcement remains undeterred, employing every available resource to crack the case.
As the investigation unfolds, questions loom over the adequacy of security measures and the persistent threat posed by organized crime. The safety of public figures like Salman Khan is paramount, and the authorities must leave no stone unturned in ensuring their protection. In the face of brazen acts of violence, swift and decisive action is imperative to uphold the rule of law and safeguard the peace of the community.
