Sixth accused held for firing at Salman Khan’s residence
Mumbai, India - The Mumbai Crime Branch made its sixth arrest in the case regarding the firing at superstar Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra.
The accused, identified as Harpal Singh (37), was arrested from Haryana’s Fatehabad. He will be presented in the MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) court of Mumbai.
As per the police officials, Harpal Singh’s information surfaced during the interrogation of another accused Mohammed Rafique Choudhary. He had financed Choudhary to conduct a recce around Salman’s residence.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Vishnoi, played a key role in motivating the shooters. After receiving weapons delivery in Panvel on March 15, 2024, Anmol provided the shooters with the target’s information, instructing them to carry out the firing at the actor’s residence.
According to the information obtained from the Crime
Branch, Chaudhary had done a recce of the actor Salman Khan’s apartment building on April 12 and had also made a video of it and sent it to Anmol. Shooters, Pal and Gupta, were apprehensive about carrying out the firing until Anmol reassured them that they would gain virtue by completing the task.
The two were sent to Mumbai in October last year by the Bishnoi gang. Despite multiple attempts, they were unable to secure accommodation. Finally, in March 2024, with the help of a local rickshaw driver in Panvel, they managed to rent a flat in the Harigram area.
