Recently, the Bollywood actor Salman Khan was the target of a second plan by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in Panvel, Maharashtra. This occurs nearly two months after the April 14 shooting incident that happened close to his apartment in the Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. Last week, the police detained four Bishnoi gang members who were planning to ambush Salman at his property.
Amidst all of this, a fresh story has surfaced indicating that there may be a link between the superstar’s recent attack and the late Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala.
The connection between Salman Khan and Moosewala
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang was allegedly plotting to kill Salman Khan with the same gun that was used to target Sidhu Moosewala. Asian News International has reported that the Navi Mumbai Police have revealed plans for the Bishnoi gang to attack Salman Khan with a Zigana handgun made in Turkey.
“Lawrence Bishnoi gang was preparing to kill actor Salman Khan with the Turkey-made Zigana pistol which was also used to kill Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala: Navi Mumbai Police, “ the official X handle of ANI tweeted.
Second attempted attack
As per India Today’s report, citing an anonymous source, the four gunmen apprehended in this case intended to shoot Salman Khan near Panvel by halting his vehicle and firing AK-47 rifles at him. Vaspi Khan, also known as Waseem Chikna, Rizwan Khan, also known as Javed Khan, Gaurav Bhatia, alias Nahvi, and Dhananjay Tapesingh, also known as Ajay Kashyap, were identified.
Salman Khan’s Bandra home, his Panvel farmhouse, and filming locations were reportedly reached by the Bishnoi gang members who were intending to shoot the actor in their second attempt at an attack.
“Some 20-25 people were involved in the planning of the foiled attempt. These four men were staying at different places in Panvel, even before the shooting in April,” Navi Mumbai Circle DCP Vivek Pansare said at a press conference on Saturday.
