Salman Khan firing case: Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol takes responsibility
Anmol Bishnoi—the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi—has claimed responsibility for the firing outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai on Sunday morning. According to ABP, Anmol—who resides in the US—made the assertion through a purported social media post, suggesting that the attack on Khan was intended to serve as a "warning." He stated that it was akin to showing Khan a "trailer."

Anmol's Hindi post roughly translates to "We desire peace, but if the decision against injustice is through war, then so be it. Salman, we fired at your house to show you a trailer so you understand our strength and do not test us. This is our first and final warning." "After this, bullets won't miss your empty house."

The post added, "Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel whom you consider gods, we have raised two animals in their names. We don't have the habit of speaking more. Lawrence Bishnoi Group, Goldy Barar Group, Kala Jathedi Group, Rohit Godara Group." Per reports, the FB account—that posted the threat—was recently activated. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has found the motorcycle of the men involved in the firing.

Gunshots were heard near Khan's residence
In the wee hours of Sunday, gunshots were reportedly heard near the Mumbai residence of Khan. According to police reports cited by ANI, around 5:00 am, two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle fired several rounds into the air before fleeing the scene. According to Mumbai Crime Branch, an empty shell has been found inside the residence of the actor. The investigation is currently underway.
What do the Bishnois have against Khan?
Last year, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed Khan's prominent placement on a target list meticulously curated by Lawrence. Notably, the brothers' ire stems from the infamous 1998 incident involving Khan's alleged hunting of a blackbuck, an act deemed disrespectful to the Bishnoi community. Previously, too, several death threats have been issued to Khan, raising questions about his security.
Anmol and his links to crime
Per Times Now, Anmol resides in California and fled India on a fake passport after the brutal assassination of singer Sidhu Moose Wala. Previously, he was traced in Azerbaijan but eventually managed to flee; subsequently, his aide Sachin Thapan was extradited from the same country for his alleged involvement in Moose Wala's murder. Anmol was allegedly last seen during a wedding in the US.
