Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, and his criminal syndicate have claimed responsibility for the recent gunfire directed at the residence of Bollywood icon Salman Khan during the early hours of Sunday.
Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence's sibling based in the United States, has ominously labeled the incident as a "first and final warning" for Salman Khan, hinting that any future attacks won't be mere warnings but direct assaults on the actor himself.
Taking to Facebook, Anmol Bishnoi conveyed a message purportedly on behalf of other members of the 'Bishnoi group' such as Goldy Brar, Rohit Godara, and Kala Jathari. He stated that while their preference is peace, they are prepared for war if justice demands it.
"This is a trailer for you, Salman Khan, to comprehend our influence and not to test our patience any further... Consider this your only warning. Next time, the bullets will find their mark. You may revere Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel, but we have named our dogs after them... This should serve as a clear enough message," declared Anmol Bishnoi, concluding with 'Jai Shri Ram'.
The threatening post emerged shortly after the brazen attack on Salman Khan's residence in Bandra around 5 a.m. on Sunday. Masked assailants on a motorcycle fired several shots towards Galaxy Apartment before swiftly fleeing the scene.
Salman Khan and his family have been subjected to death threats from various Punjab-based mafia factions like the Bishnoi gang for years. Previous threats have been conveyed through letters and other means, causing constant concern for the actor's safety.
Authorities responded promptly to the incident, with the Bandra Police initiating investigations and bolstering security measures in the vicinity. CCTV footage is being scrutinized to identify the perpetrators and ascertain their motives.
The firing incident has sparked a political controversy, with opposition leaders criticizing the state government for its perceived failure to maintain law and order.
Salman Khan, 58, resides with his extended family at Galaxy Apartments, where security measures have been intensified following repeated threats. The actor has been a target of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang since the infamous 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan.
In response to escalating threats, Salman Khan's security detail has been bolstered, and he has been granted a gun license. Additionally, the actor has acquired a bullet-proof SUV for enhanced protection during his movements.
