Faridabad Police has uncovered a plot to assassinate actor Salman Khan, after they arrested a sharpshooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, for alleged involvement in the murder of a Faridabad resident in June.
The investigation of one crime led to the revelation of another! As per Indian Express report, the sharpshooter Rahul alias Sanga alias Baba alias Sunni had conducted a recce of Salman’s Bandra house in January this year, closely observing the actor.
“During questioning, it has emerged that Rahul had travelled to Mumbai in January to conduct a recce for the murder of Salman Khan. He went to the actor’s house in Bandra for the purpose and stayed in the area for two days,” said Rajesh Duggal, DCP (Headquarters).
“He conducted this recce at the behest of Bishnoi and Sampat Nehra, another member of the gang, who had also conducted a recce to plan for the same crime before he was arrested in June 2018,” he said.
However, due to the ongoing pandemic, their plan to murder Salman Khan was foiled.
“Rahul conducted the recce on the directions of Bishnoi and later apprised him of the findings. However, they were unable to take their plan to the next stage because of the coronavirus outbreak,” said the DCP.
Previously, Sampat Nehra had been arrested from Hyderabad for plotting Khan’s murder, on the Bishnoi gang’s directions.
Lawrence Bishnoi is a member of the Bishnoi community, which reveres black bucks. He holds a grudge against Salman Khan, as he is the main accused in the Black Buck Poaching case.
The murder, for which sharpshooter Rahul was actually arrested, took place on June 24. According to Police, Rahul was also involved in two cases of car snatching in November 2019 and also enabled the release of two prisoners from police custody.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently in Panvel farmhouse with his friends and family and often keeps his fans updated about his shenanigans on social media. The actor is gearing up for his reality show, Bigg Boss 14.
