The report further adds that the Mumbai police collaborated with the Bandra Police, the Crime Branch and ATS to launch a comprehensive investigation. The seized bike belongs to a resident of Panvel, who had sold it to the shooters.

During the investigation, they found observations of Salman Khan’s farm and Galaxy Apartment. They had noted the Tiger 3 actor’s movements and Security details so that they could evade the presence of the police. They fired near his Bandra residence to incite fear as they were unable to target Khan due to his tight security.

One of the accused has been identified as Vishal aka Kalu. He works in Godara. The officials have sought help to get a background of the accused and help them trace them or their families. According to a report by the FPJ, the Bandra police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the “unidentified person,” under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act.
