Two People Are Detained for Firing at a Bollywood Actor’s House After an Antelope Was Killed.

Indian police have detained two guys after a shooting at Bollywood star Salman Khan’s residence.

On Tuesday, Indian authorities detained two members of a known criminal gang for opening fire on Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan’s residence in vengeance for the star’s killing of two antelopes.

The Bishnoi gang is a part of a larger religious sect situated in the desert that believes the species is the reincarnation of their master. They are suspected of multiple killings and extortion schemes.

Since 1998, Khan, 58, has been the target of the group due to his shooting of two blackbucks during a hunting excursion for fun.

The imprisoned gang boss Lawrence Bishnoi had previously threatened Khan’s life with an assassination.

Khan Salman Area Under Armed Police Guard

Early on Sunday morning in the affluent Bandra neighborhood of Mumbai, two men on a motorbike opened fire on Khan’s first-floor apartment and fired multiple rounds into the air before escaping.

Because of threats to his life, Khan is constantly under the protection of armed police officers, and he was at home when the gunfire occurred.

According to authorities, the two guys, who are 21 and 24 years old, were taken into custody on Tuesday in Gujarat, a western state.

The two accused were found close to a temple, according to Mahendra Bagaria, a district police official in Kutch.

“One of our teams made it to the temple and apprehended the defendants.”

For twenty years, members of the Bishnoi community prosecuted Khan for the blackbuck shooting.

In 2018, Khan was found guilty of breaking the Wildlife Protection Act and given a five-year jail sentence by a local court.

However, the sentence was stayed pending an appeal only a few days after Khan’s jail sentence, which led Lawrence Bishnoi to issue a threat shortly after that his group would enforce the law on their own.

150 MOVIES

The leading member of the gang is suspected of planning multiple killings, including the 2022 assassination of well-known Indian musician Sidhu Moose Wala.

Since his breakthrough performance in the 1980s, Khan has starred in about 150 movies and TV series, and he continues to be one of Bollywood’s most lucrative characters.

However, controversy has long plagued his personal life.

In an alleged late-night hit-and-run in 2002, he allegedly ran over five persons who were sleeping on the pavement in a posh neighborhood of Mumbai, killing one of them.

He was exonerated, but in 2016 authorities contested his acquittal, and the matter is currently pending.
