Introduction
In a shocking incident that unfolded outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence, two unidentified men opened fire near Bandra’s Galaxy Apartments. The incident occurred around 5 am, sending shockwaves through the neighborhood. As authorities investigate the matter, intriguing details have emerged about the perpetrators’ activities leading up to the incident.
The Firing Incident
On that fateful morning, the tranquility of Bandra’s upscale locality was shattered by the sound of gunshots. The two motorcycle-borne assailants fired four rounds outside Galaxy Apartments, where Salman Khan resides. Swiftly, they fled the scene, leaving behind a perplexed community and a trail of questions.
The Rented Home in Navi Mumbai
As investigators delved into the case, they discovered that the two suspects had meticulously planned their actions. Prior to the shooting, they had rented a house in Navi Mumbai’s Panvel—a city known for its lush greenery and proximity to Mumbai. This rented home served as their base of operations during the month leading up to the incident.
The Farmhouse Connection
Interestingly, Navi Mumbai’s Panvel is also home to Salman Khan’s farmhouse. The suspects strategically chose this location, perhaps hoping to remain inconspicuous amidst the suburban landscape. Their calculated move allowed them to blend in with the local community while plotting their audacious act.
The Investigation
The police swiftly swung into action, forming multiple teams to unravel the mystery. Their inquiries led them to three individuals from Navi Mumbai:
- The House Owner: The person who rented out the property to the suspects.
- The Previous Owner of the Two-Wheeler: The motorcycle used by the assailants.
- The Agent Who Facilitated the Sale: The intermediary in the vehicle transaction.
These individuals were questioned extensively, shedding light on the suspects’ movements and intentions. The abandoned two-wheeler, found near Mount Mary Church, bore the name of a Panvel resident. The crime branch team traced the connection to the rented house in the Harigram area of Panvel, where the suspects had stayed during March.
The Elusive Culprits
The suspects’ escape route was equally intriguing. After abandoning the motorcycle, they walked a distance and hailed an autorickshaw to Bandra railway station. From there, they boarded a train bound for Borivali but disembarked at Santacruz railway station, disappearing into the bustling city.
The Legal Pursuit
The police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act. While no arrests have been made yet, the investigation continues. Several teams have been dispatched to Bihar, Rajasthan, and Delhi, following leads that might unmask the culprits.
Conclusion
As the case unfolds, the spotlight remains on the two men who dared to fire shots outside Salman Khan’s abode. Their rented home in Navi Mumbai serves as a crucial piece of the puzzle, connecting them to the farmhouse where the Bollywood icon occasionally seeks solace. The investigation races against time, seeking justice for the alarming incident that rocked Bandra’s serene streets.
