Salman Khan says family was targeted by Mumbai gang

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has spoken up about the firing incident in his Mumbai house this April, reported Indian Express.

The Tiger 3 actor told police that he believes the Lawrence Bishnoi gang were responsible for the April 14 shooting and they intended to kill him and his family. He reportedly said: “So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members, carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping and (they were) planning to kill me and my family members.”

Khan’s statement, reported Indian Express, is part of the charge sheet filed by the Mumbai Police in connection with the incident.

Khan said that he heard a ‘pop’, like a firecracker while sleeping in his home, in Galaxy Apartments, on April 14. His bodyguard then told him that two people on a motorbike had fired at the first floor before rushing off.

This isn’t the first time someone has tried to hurt his family, Khan told police, referring to a firing at the Bandra police station.

Apparently the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother, Anmol Bishnoi, had confessed to the attack on a Facebook post.
