An official from the Special Cell of Delhi Police has made a shocking revelation about gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s plot to murder Bollywood star Salman Khan. Bishnoi was allegedly the mastermind behind Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s killing in May this year.

According to the statement of the police, Bishnoi’s gang members posed as Salman’s fans and attempted to befriend the staff at the actor’s Mumbai farmhouse in order to gather information about his entry and exit times, and the people who usually accompany Salman. HGS Dhaliwal, the Special Commissioner of Police, reportedly said, “Kapil Pandit, Santosh Jadhav, Sachin Vishnoi Thapan had come to stay in a rented room in Panvel in the Waze area of Mumbai.”

“There is a farmhouse of Salman Khan in Panvel, so on the way to the same farmhouse, Lawrence’s shooters had rented a room and stayed there for about one and a half months. Following the instructions by Bishnoi to keep collecting more information, they did the recce. But during that period, they were more after Sidhu. Due to that, basic groundwork was done but the syndicate’s effort was on Sidhu who was killed on 29 May after several attempts,” the official added.
