Shooting on April 14: Wake-up call

On April 14, 2024, two men fired four shots at the residence of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan riding on their motorcycle and flee from the venue. Salman attributes the attack with the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who plotted to harm actor Salman Khan with his family.

History of feud between Lawrence Bishnoi and Salman Khan

The animosity between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi stems from the 1998 Blackbuck poaching case, for which the actor was convicted. The Bishnoi community considers Blackbucks sacred, and Bishnoi has repeatedly threatened Salman, vowing to avenge the incident.

Escalating threats and connections to other crimes

The April shooting was a serious escalation in the threats by Bishnoi's gang. In October 2024, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, Salman Khan's close associate, was assassinated in Mumbai. Investigations showed that Siddique's association with Salman was a motive in the killing. Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi's brother and a suspect in Siddique's murder, is currently detained in the US.

Extortion threats add to the alarm

Salman Khan had also faced previous threats and an anonymous caller had demanded ₹2 crore. Multiple messages sent by the caller to Mumbai Police's traffic helpline led to the Worli police registering a case.
