On April 14, gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area.
A month after firing outside his Mumbai residence, Salman Khan’s former girlfriend Somy Ali reacted to the incident. In a recent interview, Somy hoped for Khan’s security and revealed that she was shocked when she got to know about it.
“Especially with what’s happening to Salman right now, I won’t wish upon my enemy what he has been through. All said and done, no one deserves what he went through. My prayers are with him. No matter what has happened, let bygones be bygones. I would never ever wish something like that to happen to anyone, be it Salman, Shah Rukh or my neighbour,” Somy told Hindustan Times.
“Every human being deserves to go through due process, law enforcement, evidence, and judicial process, at least in America. I would never want Salman or his family to endure any pain, and I wish him all the best. When my mother and I learned about this incident, we were shocked,” she continued and concluded by saying that nobody deserves to go through what Salman is experiencing right now.
On April 14, gunshots were fired outside Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post, a few hours after the firing incident.
So far, five accused have been arrested in the case. Earlier this month, one of the arrested accused, Anuj Thapan, allegedly died by suicide in Mumbai Police custody. While the police claimed that Thapan killed himself in prison, his family alleged foul play and claimed that he was killed.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s security has also been increased. The actor earlier had two PSOs. Now, two commandos, two escort vehicles and 11 cops under the Y+ category security have also been provided to him. Additionally, personnel in the security convoy will carry two automatic guns.
It should be noted that Salman Khan has not issued any statement regarding the firing incident as of now. However, previously, his father Salim Khan spoke to India Today about the incident when he said, “What’s there to talk about ye jaahil log jo kehte hain maar denge tab pata lagega na (These illiterate people say you’ll learn your lesson when we’ll kill you). We’ve been given extra police protection. They’ve (Mumbai Police) assured protection for us and our friends. If they’ve arrested two people today, that means they’re on it.”
