Investigation into connection with Rohit Shetty firing case

Prior to these threats, four rounds of gunfire erupted outside director Rohit Shetty's home on January 31st. The Mumbai Crime Branch has been investigating the matter since then. The investigation revealed that Rohit Shetty was the primary target of the attackers. Police arrested the accused, Asaram Fasle, on February 5th. According to the police investigation, Asaram Fasle had been working as a garage mechanic for the past four years and was associated with the Lawrence gang. He supplied weapons at the behest of the gang's mastermind, Shubham Lonkar.

The accused have connections with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang

Just hours after the incident, a threatening post appeared on social media in the names of Shubham Lonkar and Arju Bishnoi. The post described the shooting as a "trailer" and warned Rohit Shetty and Bollywood. The post stated that if Rohit Shetty did not comply, the next round of shots would be fired in his bedroom. This has led police to suspect the incident is linked to the gang of organized criminal Lawrence Bishnoi, who has previously been responsible for several high-profile threats and attacks.

Background of Salman Khan's threat from Lawrence Bishnoi gang

Tensions between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi gang date back to 1998, when, during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain, the actor allegedly participated in a hunting trip in which a blackbuck, considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, was killed, a moment that later became the primary trigger for the gang's threats. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi later made a public statement about the incident, stating that his aim in life was to either force Salman Khan to apologize for the alleged blackbuck poaching incident or kill the actor, giving long-term context to ongoing security concerns.
