Salman Khan House Firing Case: Who Are the Gujarat Shooters Arrested by Mumbai Police?

The Salman Khan house firing case has taken an intriguing turn with the arrest of two accused, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, who had reportedly conducted a recce of the actor's residence three times. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch revealed that during one of these visits, five rounds were discharged by the pillion rider. The accused were arrested from Bhuj district in Gujarat and have been sent to custody till April 25.

 

 

According to the police, the accused had conducted a thorough surveillance of Salman Khan's house on multiple occasions, with the primary allegation being that they had carried out the recce. The language used in a Facebook post was found to be threatening, and the role of Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, is visible in the case. Lawrence Bishnoi has warned Salman Khan that Sunday's attack at his house in Mumbai's Bandra was the "first and final warning".

 

 

The Mumbai Police learned from the crime branch that the shooter might be in Gujarat and formed 12 teams to nab the accused. The teams left for Gujarat late on Monday night and informed the Bhuj Police. Four officers of Gujarat Police helped the Mumbai Police in the entire operation. The accused were nabbed 58 km away from Bhuj in Nakhatrana, where they were hiding at Mata nu Madh temple.

 

 

The accused are from the Champaran district of Bihar, with Sagar Pal working in Haryana. They had visited Salman Khan’s residence thrice and were staying in Mumbai for some time to carry out the recce. The accused came to Mumbai on February 28 and were spotted near Taj Lands End, Bandra on February 29 and March 1. They returned to Champaran to celebrate Holi and then returned to Mumbai on April 1st. The bike that was used to carry out the firing was purchased on April 2 for Rs 24,000, and the weapon was delivered to them in Mumbai.

 

In conclusion, the Salman Khan house firing case has shed light on the importance of security measures for high-profile individuals in Mumbai. The arrest of the two accused and their alleged connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have raised questions about the potential intentions of the accused and the involvement of external elements.
