Firing outside Salman Khan’s residence: Probe transferred to Mumbai Police Crime Branch | – Times of India

The ongoing investigation into the firing incident outside the residence of superstar Salman Khan has officially been transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch, the city police have confirmed.
This comes hours after jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi‘s mafia outfit claimed responsibility for the firing at Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s home just before dawn.
Based in the US, Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of Lawrence Bishnoi, has also described the incident as the “first and last warning” for Salman Khan, ominously decreeing that the next time “the bullets won’t be fired at walls or an empty home”, indicating the actor would be directly targetted.In a post on Facebook, Anmol posted a message, on behalf of other ‘Bishnoi group’ – Goldy Brar, Rohit Godara, and Kala Jathari – saying “they (the gang) seek only peace, but if justice from atrocity can be achieved only through war, then war is okay”.
Earlier, on Sunday morning, two unidentified persons opened fire outside Salman’s Bandra residence. Briefing media persons on the incident, Mumbai Police said the incident appeared to be meticulously planned, as the accused had their faces covered under helmets as they arrived at the scene on a two-wheeler.
A total of 15 teams of the Crime Branch were deployed to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

According to the police, the preliminary investigation suggested that the firing by the bike-borne persons had the appearance of a calculated attack.
A senior officer of the Mumbai Police said a total of four rounds were fired by the accused and a live cartridge was recovered from the spot. The city police said it was probing the firing incident from all angles and was in the process of ascertaining the identities of the accused and finding out where they came from.
Senior officials of the Mumbai Police, led by the the Deputy Commissioner of Police, reached the spot in the wake of the incident.
