Salman Khan Residence Firing Case: Accused Rafiq Choudhary Arrested for Scouting Two More Actors’ Homes

The Mumbai Crime Branch officials have revealed shocking details about the recent firing incident outside Salman Khan’s residence. The fifth accused, Mohammad Rafiq Choudhary, arrested from Rajasthan, had not only conducted reconnaissance at Salman Khan’s residence but also at the homes of two other Bollywood actors.

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Vishnoi, played a crucial role in motivating the shooters. After receiving weapons delivery in Panvel on March 15, 2024, Anmol provided the shooters with the target’s information and instructed them to carry out the firing at the actor’s residence.

According to the Crime Branch, Chaudhary had done a recce of Salman Khan’s apartment building on April 12 and had even made a video of it, which he sent to Anmol. The shooters, Pal and Gupta, were initially hesitant about carrying out the firing until Anmol reassured them that they would gain virtue by completing the task.

The planned firing incident took place on April 14 outside Salman Khan’s residence at Galaxy Apartments, sending shockwaves through the Bandra area of Mumbai. The subsequent arrests revealed connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, leading the Mumbai Police to invoke the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against all involved in the shooting.

The Mumbai Crime Branch is actively investigating the matter to apprehend all individuals involved in the case. Meanwhile, a lookout notice has been issued for Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, in connection with the case. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
