Salman Khan’s iconic residence, Galaxy Apartments, has undergone a major security upgrade, eight months after a shocking firing incident shook the area. The actor’s home in Mumbai’s bustling Bandra neighbourhood now features bulletproof glass installed in the first-floor balcony. This balcony is the spot where Salman Khan regularly greets his fans, making it a significant and symbolic location for both the actor and his admirers.
The April 14 Firing Incident
On April 14, 2024, two unidentified men on a motorbike fired four rounds at Galaxy Apartments before fleeing the scene. The incident sent shockwaves through the city and left Salman Khan and his family deeply concerned about their safety. Salman informed the police that he suspected gangster Lawrence Bishnoi of orchestrating the attack. According to the actor, the assailants intended to harm him and his family members.
The situation escalated further in October 2024, when former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. The 66-year-old politician, known for his close friendship with Salman Khan, was respected in political and entertainment circles. His untimely demise added another layer of complexity to the ongoing security concerns surrounding Salman and his family.
Lawrence Bishnoi and His Alleged Network
A key accused in the Baba Siddique murder case is Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, who has since been detained in the United States. Lawrence Bishnoi’s alleged involvement in these incidents has heightened fears, leading Salman Khan to take additional security measures at his residence. The authorities continue to investigate the network and motives behind these coordinated attacks.
Enhanced Security Measures by Salman Khan
Following these incidents, Salman Khan’s security team has implemented multiple measures to ensure the safety of the actor and his family. The installation of bulletproof glass on the first-floor balcony is a significant step, reinforcing the structure against any potential threats. Salman’s security detail has also been enhanced, with increased police patrols and surveillance around Galaxy Apartments.
