Here's a timeline of how police caught the men who fired outside Salman Khan's house

It was early Sundaymorning when shots were fired outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai’s Bandra locality. They fired shots and fled, leaving the vehicle they were travelling in outside a church. The church is only a kilometre away from the actor’s house.

After nabbing the culprits, the Mumbai police’s crime branch told a local court that the two arrested men aimed to kill Salman Khan.

According to several reports, the Mumbai crime branch activated its network of informers and started tracking the phones of the two men. Notably, their phones weren’t switched off so that helped the police.

CCTV footage helped police officials to nab the culprits.

The police found out that the men had run away to Gujarat’s Kachchh district. A team took a flight from Mumbai to Rajkot and then went 350 kilometres by road to Kachchh.

The team reached Nakhatrana city, informed the local police, and took four of their personnel with them. Without much of a fight, the two accused were taken into custody around midnight from the famous Matanomadh temple in Kachchh. They were brought to Bhuj by road and then taken to Mumbai via a plane.

The two have been sent to 10-day police custody, according to the latest reports.
