Sixth Suspect Arrested In Salman Khan House Firing Case By Mumbai Crime Branch

Salman Khan Firing Case Update: The sixth suspect in the firing incident at Bollywood actor Salman Khan's Mumbai residence last month has been arrested in Haryana.

The Mumbai Crime Branch apprehended the suspect, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, in Fatehabad, Haryana, on Tuesday.

The accused, identified as 34-year-old Harpal Singh from Fatehabad, was taken into custody by the Mumbai Crime Branch team on Monday evening, an official reported.

Singh was transported to Mumbai early Tuesday and is scheduled to appear before the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court later in the day, the official added.

This marks the sixth arrest in connection with the firing incident.

On April 14, two individuals on motorcycles fired shots outside Khan's residence at Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area before fleeing the scene.

Harpal Singh's involvement was uncovered during the interrogation of Mohammed Rafique Chowdhary, another Bishnoi gang member arrested earlier this month. According to the police, Singh instructed Chowdhary to conduct surveillance around Khan's residence and provided him with Rs 2-3 lakh.

Lawrence Bishnoi, currently incarcerated in Sabarmati Central Prison in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi, believed to be in the US or Canada, have also been implicated in the firing case.
