Amid the ongoing investigation in connection to the firing incident at Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence, four teams of crime branch has been sent to New Delhi, Bihar, Gujarat and Rajasthan to probe the matter.
According to sources, the investigation revealed that Anmol Bishnoi was in direct contact with Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta via internet calling. The two accused were paid Rs 1 lakh in advance for the shooting and were promised to receive Rs 3 lakh more after the job was done.
The accused came under police radar when they switched on their phones to talk to Bishnoi, sources reported. Meanwhile, the police are trying to find the supplier of the weapon.
The cops have issued a look-out circular against Anmol Bishnoi, who is currently in Canada.
“The accused conducted a ‘recce’ of Salman Khan’s farmhouse in Panvel. They intended to just scare him, not murder him. The statements of both families have been recorded in Bihar. Around 7 people have been called from Haryana and other states for questioning, which is ongoing,” a Mumbai Crime Branch official was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, came under the spotlight after he claimed responsibility for the firing outside Salman Khan’s recent through a Facebook post.
Notably, soon after the firing Pal and Gupta left Mumbai and headed for Bhuj, police said, adding that near Surat, they changed the SIM card of the mobile phone they were using to communicate.
To throw police off their trail, they switched off their mobile phone frequently. But the number they called was always the same, police noted during technical surveillance. Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta were arrested on Sunday.
