Sharpshooter who planned to kill Salman Khan arrested

A sharpshooter who belongs to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been arrested by the Faridabad police after he allegedly planned to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The sharpshooter has also carried out the recce of the Bollywood star’s apartment in Bandra, Mumbai.

The plot to kill Salman Khan was uncovered when the sharpshooter named Rahul aka Sanga aka Baba alias Sunni was arrested in connection with a murder case. During questioning, Rahul admitted to having conducted a recce to assassinate Salman Khan.

“During questioning, it has emerged that Rahul had traveled 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, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Indian Express reports.

The sharpshooter also informed the reason why they planned to kill Salman Khan. According to the sharpshooter, Lawrence Bishnoi belongs to the Bishnoi community that adores blackbucks. Bishnoi had a grudge against Salman Khan since the day he killed two blackbucks in 1998. After the trial which lasted for several years, Salman Khan was sentenced to five years imprisonment by the court. However, the actor is currently out on bail.

Even though the criminal gang carried out several steps to kill Salman Khan, all their efforts went in vain due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Rahul is a new member of the Bishnoi gang, and he has allegedly committed four murders in the past six months. Before joining the criminal gang, Rahul had worked as a temporary staff in a Faridabad hospital.
