Firing incident outside Galaxy Apartments
For those unaware, last year on April 14, two men on a bike fired four rounds at Salman Khan's residence and fled the spot. It was later reported that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was behind the firing incident which had full intentions of harming him and his family members.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently serving a long sentence in prison, has issued multiple threats against Khan in the past. The feud first began in 1998 after the blackbuck shooting case, for which Salman Khan was convicted. The Bishnoi community considers Blackbucks scared and the gangster had said that he would go after the actor. After several threats of the years, the April 14 firing incident escalated the entire situation involving Khan.
The situation worsened when in October, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. The 66-year-old politician is known to be close to Salman Khan.
A key accused in the Baba Siddique murder case is Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol, who has been detained in the US.
Mumbai police’s chargesheet mentioned the politician's close ties with Salman Khan as the key motive behind his murder.
