Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently disclosed to the Mumbai Police that he believes gangster Lawrence Bishnoi attempted to kill him and his family. According to a 1,735-page chargesheet filed by the police in July 2024, Khan reported hearing a "cracker-like sound" at 4:55 am at his Galaxy Apartment in Bandra, which he attributed to Bishnoi's gang. Khan detailed the threats he has received from Bishnoi and his gang over the years, including an attempted trespass at his Panvel farmhouse by two identified gang members in January 2024.
Salman Khan stated, "I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment's first floor balcony." He also mentioned that Bishnoi's gang had issued a Rs 25 lakh bounty on him and planned the attack from August 2023 to April 2024, even attempting to procure firearms from Pakistan. The chargesheet revealed that about 70 people were involved in tracking Khan's movements across Mumbai, including his Panvel farmhouse and Goregaon Film City.
