This wasn’t the first attempt, Bishnoi gang wants to hurt me and my family: Salman Khan | Mumbai News

MUMBAI: In his police statement, actor Salman Khan (58) has alleged that he believes gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang members were behind the firing incident outside his Bandra residence on April 14. Khan said he believes the attack was carried out with the intention of killing him and his family members.
Observing that there is ample prima facie evidence on record to proceed against the accused, a special MCOCA court on Monday took cognisance of the chargesheet filed in the case earlier this month. On April 14, a biker and a pillion rider discharged several rounds at the balcony of Khan’s Bandra home and absconded.
In his statement made in June, which is part of the chargesheet, the actor said, “There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learned from social media that Bishnoi and gang have taken responsibility for the attack. So, I believe that it is the Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing at my balcony.” As a result, Khan always advises his family members and those around him to stay alert. Khan has been provided with Y-Plus security from Mumbai police. He has weapon-trained policemen, bodyguards and private security for protection too.
Recalling the events of April 14, Khan said he heard a cracker-like sound while asleep. Later, at 4.55am, his police bodyguard informed him that two people on a bike had fired at the first-floor balcony of his home in Galaxy Apartment.
The chargesheet also includes transcripts of a conversation over Signal app between wanted accused Anmol Bishnoi and shooter Vikas Gupta. In the conversation, Anmol instructs Vikas to fire thoughtfully and in a manner that scares “Bhai” (referring to Khan).
