Bollywood News: Arbaaz Khan, actor and brother of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, took to Instagram on Monday to address the recent shooting incident that occurred outside their Bandra residence, Galaxy Apartment. The incident, which took place early Sunday morning, saw two unidentified individuals fire shots from a motorcycle before fleeing the scene.
In his statement, Arbaaz expressed the family’s deep concern, calling the event “very disturbing and unnerving.” He emphasised that “this shocking incident has taken aback our family.” This public address comes amidst media speculation and unverified claims surrounding the incident.
Arbaaz specifically addressed individuals claiming to be close to the Khan family and making “loose statements to the media, saying it’s all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected.” He firmly denied these claims, stating, “This is not true and these views should not be taken seriously.”
The statement clarified that no member of the Salim Khan family had spoken to the media regarding the incident. Arbaaz reassured the public that the family is “helping and cooperating with the police in the investigation of this untoward incident.” He expressed faith in the Mumbai Police, stating they had been assured “they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family.”
The shooting incident has sent shockwaves through the Indian film industry and raised concerns about the safety of celebrities. Arbaaz’s statement concluded by thanking everyone for their “love and support” during this difficult time.
This is not the first time the Khan family has faced threats or violence. In 2018, Salman Khan was convicted in a blackbuck poaching case, leading to heightened tensions. Some speculate the recent shooting could be linked to these past events..
Mumbai Police have made a swift arrest in connection with the recent shooting incident outside Galaxy Apartment, the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Two individuals were apprehended in Bhuj, Gujarat, on Monday evening.
The arrested suspects, identified as Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, are believed to be part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, according to police sources. CCTV footage captured the duo arriving on a motorbike before firing four rounds towards Salman Khan’s residence early Sunday morning.
Following the incident, a manhunt was launched by the Mumbai Police. Acting on a tip-off, police tracked the suspects to a temple in Bhuj, where they were apprehended. Reports suggest Gupta and Pal had fled to Gujarat after the shooting and were hiding there.
The arrest of these two suspects marks a significant development in this high-profile case. As the investigation progresses, further details regarding the motive and any additional suspects may come to light.
