Just as the news of the accused being arrested from Gujarat made the headlines, new reports in connection to the investigation in Salman Khan’s house firing incident have surfaced on the internet. As reported by the Free Press Journal, the Gujarat police arrested suspects identified as Vikas (Vicky Gupta) (24) and Sagar Patel (22) on Tuesday. They are natives of Bihar’s Champaran. The alleged accused were handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch for further investigation after they came to Mumbai.
The incident took place on Sunday at 5 am, when the two individuals fired 4-5 bullets at Salman’s apartment in the Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. After reporting that they wanted to target Salman Khan, but couldn’t due to his tight security, a new report by the Free Press Journal states that the accused fled from Mumbai via a bus. They sought refuge in Kutch to avoid police investigation in their hometown in Bihar. They apparently stayed with their relatives in Mata No Madh village.

The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Kachchh, AR Zankant, shared the insights of the operation. Quoted by the Free Press Journal, he said, “Mumbai Police was investigating the case of firing outside the residence of actor Salman Khan. Mumbai Police informed the Kuchchh Police that the two accused had reached Kuchchh. Different teams were formed to catch the accused. Both the accused were arrested by Kuchchh Police and handed over to Mumbai Police. During primary interrogation, it was found that they were in contact with Lawrence Bishnoi's gang.”
If the reports are to be believed, Bishnoi’s gang is behind the firing incident and the attack was carried out by Rohit Godara, who operates the gang in Rajasthan.
