Lakshmi Gautam, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), said in a statement that the men had fled to Surat from Mumbai and then went to Bhuj. “They are being brought to the city where they will be produced before the court. We will be interrogating the accused to find out who gave them the contract for the firing,” added Gautam.
Y plus security for Salman Khan
Salman has already been given Y plus security after he received threats to his life in 2022. The firing incident has left the family shaken. On Tuesday evening, Salman’s brother, actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan took to social media to condemn the incident.
He wrote, “The recent incident of firing by two unidentified persons on a motorcycle at Galaxy apartment the residence of the Salim Khan family is very disturbing and unnerving. Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place.”
The actor clarified that some individuals falsely claiming to be connected to the family have been issuing ‘loose’ statements to the media. Arbaaz said that these statements should not be taken seriously. “No member of the Salim Khan family has made any statement regarding this incident to the media. At this time the family is helping and cooperating with the police in the investigation of this untoward incident. We have faith in the Mumbai police and we have been assured they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family. Thank you everyone for your love and support,” he added.
