Following the recent gunfire incident outside actor Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai’s Bandra, a lookout circular (LOC) has been issued against Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, disclosed a police official, PTI reported.

Consideration is being given to bringing Lawrence Bishnoi, presently incarcerated in Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat, into police custody, with the potential application of the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), the official indicated.

Anmol Bishnoi, who reportedly admitted to the shooting, has been implicated in the investigation, prompting the issuance of the LOC by the Mumbai police last Friday, an official told PTI.

“Anmol and Lawrence Bishnoi have been identified as wanted suspects in the case. While Anmol resides in Canada and frequently travels to the USA, investigations have traced the IP address of the Facebook post claiming responsibility for the shooting to Portugal,” elaborated the official.

The initial report filed by the police, under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 307 (attempt to murder), followed an incident where two individuals on a motorcycle fired shots at Galaxy Apartment in Bandra, the residence of Salman Khan, in the early hours of April 14.

Sonu Bishnoi and Thapan, natives of Fazilka near Lawrence Bishnoi’s hometown in Punjab, were also implicated, along with Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi, in a shooting incident registered in Gangapur, Punjab, as per the official.
