On April 14th, a shocking incident involving Bollywood superstar Salman Khan left everyone stunned. Around 5 AM, firing occurred outside his residence at Galaxy Apartments. Two attackers on a motorcycle fired shots in the air before fleeing the scene. This incident has been a constant topic of news ever since. Recently, Salman Khan made a statement to the police regarding the firing at his house, where he revealed that his family is under threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
What Did Salman Khan Say in His Statement?
In his statement to the police, Salman Khan said: “I am a professional film actor and have been working in the film industry for the past 35 years. Fans and well-wishers often gather near my home, Galaxy Apartments, near Bandstand in Bandra, Mumbai. To show them my appreciation, I often wave to them from the first-floor balcony of my flat. This happens on many occasions. Also, during parties at my house, or when my friends and family, including my father, visit, I spend time with them on the balcony. I also go to the balcony early in the morning for fresh air. I have private security for myself.”
Father Received a Threatening Letter
Salman Khan further stated, “In 2022, my father filed a complaint at Bandra Police Station after receiving a letter threatening me and my family. The letter was placed on a bench across from our apartment building.” He also mentioned that in March 2023, his team received an email on his official email ID, threatening him and his family, allegedly from Lawrence Bishnoi. This incident was also reported to Bandra Police Station by his team.
Attempted Break-In at the Farmhouse
Salman continued, “In January this year, two unknown individuals tried to forcibly enter my farmhouse in Panvel using fake names and identification. Panvel Police registered a case against them. I learned from the police that these two individuals were criminals from Fazilka village in Rajasthan, which is also Lawrence Bishnoi’s village. I have advised all my associates, relatives, and family members to stay alert. Mumbai Police has provided me with Y-plus security, and I have trained policemen, bodyguards, and private security personnel for my protection.”
Salman Khan Claims Threat from Lawrence Bishnoi
Salman then detailed the day of the firing incident at his house. “On April 14, 2024, I was asleep when I heard sounds like firecrackers. It was around 4:55 AM when my bodyguard informed me that two people on a bike fired shots at the first-floor balcony of Galaxy Apartments. This was not the first attempt to harm me and my family. I learned that Lawrence Bishnoi took responsibility for this attack through social media.
My bodyguard filed an FIR at Bandra Police Station on April 14 regarding this attempt on my life. I also learned that Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the attack through a Facebook post. Previously, Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang discussed killing me and my family in an interview, so I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi executed this firing with the help of his gang members while my family was asleep.” In a statement recorded on June 4, Salman mentioned that he was asleep when the firing occurred. There was also a party at the actor’s house that night, and he went to bed late. However, the gunshots woke him up.
