Salman Khan Attack Conspiracy: A Haryana man was arrested by the police on Sunday in connection with the fresh conspiracy to attack Bollywood star Salman Khan. The arrested accused, Deepak alias Johnny Valmiki (30), is said to be a gang member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. According to the Haryana police, the accused was arrested from Bhiwani after the Navi Mumbai police provided intelligence inputs. Notably, last week, the Navi Mumbai police unearthed a fresh Lawrence Bishnoi gang conspiracy to target Salman Khan.
This comes weeks after the Salman Khan house firing case, in which two shooters fired multiple shots at the Bandra residence of the Bollywood actor. The attack sent shockwaves across his fans and the Maharashtra government, which ordered a massive investigation into the case.
The shooters, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, were arrested in Gujarat. Their associates, Sonu Bishnoi and Anuj Thapan, who reportedly supplied the weapons, were later captured in Punjab. Thapan allegedly committed suicide by hanging in police custody on May 1. Following this, Mumbai police made additional arrests related to the case.
What Is New Conspiracy Busted By Navi Mumbai Police
Earlier, the Panvel police arrested four people following a tip-off in September-October of last year regarding a plot to harm the actor. According to the police, the investigation involved infiltrating social media groups associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
