Eight months after gunshots were fired outside his Mumbai home Galaxy Apartments, Salman Khan has now secured his home with bulletproof glass and electric fencing.
Various paparazzi accounts shared pictures of the upgraded security on social media. The 59-year-old actor’s security has been enhanced following the murder of his close friend and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. Khan himself has received death threats.
In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside his Bandra residence in the early hours of the morning. Four were arrested subsequently. Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang took responsibility for the attack.
