Salman Khan has opened up about the alleged threats he and his family members have been getting from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang over the years. Last month, the Bollywood superstar recorded his statement in connection to the house firing case when he claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was trying to kill him. He also revealed that after the firing case in April this year, he asked his family members to be on “alert at all times”.
“I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment’s first-floor balcony. There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learnt that Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the attack from social media. So, I believe that it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing on my balcony,” Salman Khan told the anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch as quoted by India Today.
“Earlier also, Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang members in an interview talked about killing me and my relatives. So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping inside and planning to kill me and my family members so they carried out the attack,” the actor added.
Khan further detailed the previous threats by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and said, “After that, in March 2023, an email was received on my official email of an employee in my team threatening me and my family from Lawrence Bishnoi. In this regard, a case was registered by my team member at Bandra police station.” He also revealed that in January this year, two people attempted to trespass his farmhouse in Panvel by using fake names and identities.
In April this year, gunshots were fired outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post.
