New Delhi: A team from Delhi Police\u2019s Special Cell has begun probing the incident of firing outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan\u2019s residence in Mumbai, sources told to media on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the shooters identified as Vishal @ Rahul, a resident of Gurugram, has over six criminal cases, including murder, registered against him in Haryana and Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have mounted technical and physical surveillance to get the clue regarding the accused, \u201d a source in the Special Cell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per sources, Vishal was recently involved in the killing of a bookie in Rohtak under the instructions of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, sources indicate Vishal’s involvement in another murder at a roadside restaurant in Rohtak on February 29 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early hours of Sunday, at least three to four bullets were fired at the actor\u2019s Bandra West home in Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chilling act was committed by at least two unidentified persons sporting helmets who came speeding on a motorcycle and fired at least four shots in the direction of Galaxy Apartment, before zooming off on the dark and deserted road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past several years, Salman Khan and his family have been facing death threats from certain Punjab-based mafia groups like the Bishnoi gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan have been issued death threats in different ways, including dropping a letter to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, while on a morning stroll near his home, Salim Khan found a note saying \u201cSalim Khan\u2026Salman Khan\u2026 bahut jald aapka Moose Wala hoga\u201d — a reference to Sidhu Moose Wala, a Punjabi rapper, who was brutally shot dead near his home on May 29, 2022, shaking the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the multiple threats to the Mumbai-based actor, the city police have upgraded the security cover of Salman Khan, plus issued him a permit for a gun licence, and last year, the actor acquired a new bullet-proof SUV as additional protection to move around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
