An attempt has been made to kill Bollywood star, Salman Khan.
According to Times Network, during the course of the investigation into the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, investigators uncovered some previously unknown information.
A sharpshooter came within inches of killing Salman Khan outside his home, but the actor was reportedly saved by a whisker. A suspect named Lawrence Bishnoi who was involved in the Moose Wala murder case sent a sharpshooter with a small-bore weapon to assassinate Khan. The sharpshooter was allegedly planted outside the actor’s home to assassinate him, but he backed out at the last minute.
The assassin upon discovering that the actor does not accompany security guards when he goes cycling in the morning, planted an attack, however, on the main day, as the sharpshooters were about to carry out their plan and Salman Khan was about to leave his house that morning, an escort of Mumbai Police who was at his gate, engaged with the actor because he had a public function that day.
This alarmed the sharpshooter and his companions, and they decided that now was not the time to carry out their plan. They were afraid of being apprehended by police, so the sharpshooter was ordered to abandon the plan.
For the uninitiated, Salman Khan was earlier on Bishnoi’s radar after the infamous blackbuck poaching case during the shoot of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Bishnoi community considers black buck to be a sacred animal and Salman’s involvement in poaching had hurt the community’s sentiments.

He had earlier in 2018 threatened to kill Salman. Rahul alias Sunni, one of Bishnoi’s close associates arrested in 2020 for murder, said that they had hatched a plan to kill Salman and had even visited Mumbai to conduct a recce for the murder.
