As Salman Khan breaks silence on firing incident, the police revealed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had devised a more extensive plot to attack Salman Khan’s car in Panvel, Maharashtra, where he owns a farmhouse.
The gang had allegedly obtained high-caliber weapons, including AK-47s and M-16s, from a Pakistani arms supplier.
The gang, led by the imprisoned Lawrence Bishnoi and his Canada-based cousin Anmol Bishnoi, along with associate Goldie Brar, planned to either ambush Khan’s car or attack his farmhouse.
