#Showbiz: Gunshots fired outside Salman Khan's house

KUALA LUMPUR: Two bikers fired gunshots outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's house in Mumbai, India last Sunday.

The Indian Express reported yesterday that Mumbai police are examining CCTV footage to track down the perpetrators.

Police have also tightened the security outside Khan's residence.

The Indian Express also reported that fugitive gangster Anmol Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the gunfire through a Facebook post.

Bishnoi allegedly wrote that the gunshots indicated the "first and last warning" to Khan.

Bishnoi is the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who previously threatened Khan to apologise for killing a blackbuck or "face the consequences."

The blackbuck, protected under the Wildlife Protection Act of India, is revered by the Bishnoi community as the reincarnation of their spiritual leader Guru Bhagwan Jambeshwar.

In 2018, Khan was sentenced to a five-year jail term and fined Rs10,000 (about RM572) for killing two blackbucks in Rajasthan while shooting Bollywood film Hum Saath Saath Hain in 1998.

Khan was released on bail two days after his conviction.
