Salman Khan Spotted with Tight Security at Mumbai Airport

Bollywood icon Salman Khan was sighted at Mumbai Airport on Friday morning, accompanied by heavy security, following a recent shooting near his residence. Surrounded by guards, Salman, along with his trusted bodyguard Shera, made his way into the airport. This marks Salman’s first departure from Mumbai since the shooting incident outside his Bandra home at Galaxy Apartment. Dressed casually, Salman acknowledged the paparazzi with a nod as he entered the airport.

Earlier in the week, Kutch Police apprehended two suspects in connection with the shooting and handed them over to the Mumbai Crime Branch. The accused, Vicky Gupta (24) and Sagar Pal (21) from Bihar, were remanded in custody until April 25. The two men fired shots outside Salman’s residence and fled the scene. CCTV footage showed them wearing caps and backpacks, firing towards the actor’s home. Kutch DSP AR Zankant disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed the accused’s affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Since November 2022, Salman’s security has been heightened to Y-Plus due to threats from gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar. He has also been authorized to carry a personal firearm and has acquired an armored vehicle for added protection. In response to the incident, Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan issued a statement emphasizing the family’s distress and cooperation with the Mumbai Police’s investigation. Arbaaz clarified that no family member had made statements to the media regarding the incident and reaffirmed their confidence in the Mumbai Police’s efforts to ensure their safety.
