Bollywood actor Salman Khan has made significant renovations to improve security at his Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, eight months following a shooting incident outside his home.
The actor's residence is now equipped with bulletproof windows, an advanced security system, and high-definition CCTV cameras to monitor and detect any suspicious activity in the vicinity, reports Hindustan Times.
Bulletproof glass has been added to strengthen the balcony from where Salman Khan greets his fans. The actor resides in a 1 BHK flat on the ground floor of Galaxy Apartments, while his parents live on the first floor, the report added.
On April 14, two individuals on a motorcycle fired four shots at Salman Khan's home and fled the scene. The actor suspects that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was behind the incident, intending to kill him and his family.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is in jail, has had ongoing issues with Salman Khan and has threatened him several times. Their conflict started with the 1998 Blackbuck shooting case, where Salman Khan was convicted.
The Bishnoi community regards Blackbucks as sacred, and Lawrence Bishnoi has vowed to target Salman Khan. The April 14 firing marked a serious escalation in the threats made by the Bishnoi gang against the actor.
The situation escalated further in October when former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. The 66-year-old politician was known to have a close relationship with Salman Khan.
Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol, who is a key accused in the Baba Siddique murder case, has been detained in the US. In its chargesheet, the Mumbai Police stated that Siddique's close ties with Salman Khan were a significant motive behind the murder.
Earlier, Salman Khan had received a similar threat from an anonymous caller who demanded ₹2 crore. The Worli police filed a case against the unidentified person who had sent several WhatsApp messages to the Mumbai Police traffic helpline.
