- Mumbai Police chargesheet details plot by Anmol Bishnoi to intimidate Salman Khan.
- Anmol Bishnoi directed shooter Vickykumar Gupta to fire at Khan’s residence.
- Transcripts reveal Anmol’s instructions to create fear and notoriety for the gang.
Mumbai Police have filed a chargesheet in the case of the firing incident outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, uncovering a sinister plot orchestrated by Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The chargesheet, submitted to the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, reveals that Anmol directed a gunman to fire shots to intimidate Khan and assert the Bishnoi gang’s dominance in Mumbai.
The chargesheet includes transcripts of conversations between Anmol Bishnoi and shooter Vickykumar Gupta. According to these transcripts, Anmol instructed Gupta to fire shots in a way that would intimidate Khan. He even suggested that Gupta smoke during the act to project fearlessness on CCTV footage. “You will create history by doing this job and your name will be there in all newspapers and other media,” Anmol reportedly told Gupta.
Salman Khan’s statement, included in the chargesheet, recounts how he was awakened by a sound similar to a firecracker early on April 14. His police bodyguard later informed him that two individuals on a motorbike had fired shots at the first-floor balcony of his Galaxy Apartments residence.
Anmol Bishnoi, who admitted to orchestrating the shooting, currently resides in Canada. However, Mumbai police traced the IP address of a Facebook post where he confessed to Portugal and have issued a lookout circular (LOC) for him.
In his statement, Khan expressed his belief that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members, carried out the attack with the intent to harm him and his family. This revelation adds another layer of tension to the ongoing threats faced by the actor, as the authorities work to bring those responsible to justice.
