April 15, Mumbai: In the aftermath of a brazen attack targeting Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence, Mumbai Police have launched a relentless manhunt to apprehend the fugitive gangsters responsible for the audacious assault.
The incident unfolded when two unidentified assailants, suspected to be affiliated with the notorious gang led by Lawrence Bishnoi, unleashed a barrage of gunfire outside Khan’s home in Mumbai. Shockwaves rippled through the city as CCTV footage captured the assailants fleeing the scene after abandoning their motorcycle getaway vehicle near Mount Mary Church in Bandra.
The suspects, identified as Vishal and an accomplice reportedly linked to gangster Rohit Godara, are believed to have conducted reconnaissance near Galaxy Apartments, Salman Khan‘s residence, before executing the attack. Clad in caps and carrying backpacks, the assailants fired indiscriminately towards the actor’s home, leaving residents and onlookers in a state of panic.
In a chilling online proclamation, Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the assault, describing it as a “preview” and issuing a stark warning to the Bollywood luminary.

Reacting swiftly to the threat posed by these fugitives, Mumbai Police, under the directive of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, have escalated efforts to track down and apprehend the perpetrators. With heightened security measures in place and an intensified surveillance operation, authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the persistent threats faced by high-profile individuals in India’s entertainment industry and the looming specter of organized crime. As the manhunt unfolds, the collective resolve of law enforcement agencies underscores their unwavering commitment to safeguarding public safety and upholding the rule of law.
Salman Khan, a prominent figure in Bollywood, has been no stranger to threats in the past. Last year, revelations from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) shed light on Khan’s inclusion at the top of a hit list orchestrated by Lawrence Bishnoi, stemming from a decades-old controversy involving the actor’s alleged involvement in the killing of a black buck, which sparked outrage among the Bishnoi community.
As the investigation into the recent attack intensifies, the eyes of the nation remain fixed on the unfolding developments, with hopes pinned on the swift apprehension of the fugitives and the restoration of peace and security in the vibrant streets of Mumbai.
