Salman Khan house firing case
New Delhi: A Mumbai court has ruled that the shooters involved in the firing outside Salman Khan’s residence acted with the intent to kill, instigated by Anmol Bishnoi, brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Special MCOCA judge BD Shelke denied bail to shooter Vicky Gupta, emphasizing evidence from the FIR showing Gupta and his associate Sagar Pal fired shots at Khan’s home on April 14. The court noted that Khan often greeted fans from his gallery, making him a target. A call transcript between Gupta and Anmol Bishnoi further implicated them in the attack.
