    Firing at Salman Khan’s house was ‘just a trailer’, say attackers

    New update

    The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested two gunmen, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, for firing outside Salman Khan’s house in Bandra West. They were captured in Gujarat’s Bhuj district after leaving Mumbai following the incident. The police will question them further in Mumbai and present them in court. The shooters fired four shots from a motorcycle but luckily, no one was injured. Salman Khan was at home during the shooting. The suspects then abandoned their motorcycle near a church, traveled by train and autorickshaw to escape. Both are linked to Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of a known criminal. The arrest is a significant step in the investigation to uncover the motive behind the shooting and any connections to criminal networks.

    Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who claimed responsibility for the shooting outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai, has issued another threat to the superstar.

    “Yesterday, outside Salman Khan’s residence, two people wearing helmets on motorbikes opened fire,” said the police. A case has been registered, according to which one of the two suspects who fired is from Gurugram, but the suspects have been arrested.
    According to Indian media reports, “Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother has accepted responsibility of the shooting on social media.” Reports stated that through a Facebook post, Anmol Bishnoi, warned Salman Khan, “We want peace, but if the decision is war, then we agree, Salman Khan! We have done this to show you the trailer so that you understand our capabilities and don’t test us. This is our first and last warning to you, after that bullets will not be fired just at houses.”

    Salman Khan’s father Saleem Khan, talking to Indian media, said that “My family was not harmed during the shooting, the shots fired by unknown persons were an attempt to gain public attention. Yes, the accused only want publicity, so no need to worry.”

  • ‘Brotherhood, humanity’: Sikhs open gurdwaras for Friday prayers after Muslims attacked by Hindu extremists

    ‘Brotherhood, humanity’: Sikhs open gurdwaras for Friday prayers after Muslims attacked by Hindu extremists

    After an official ban on Muslim prayers at open places in India’s Gurugram city near New Delhi, a local organisation taking care of gurdwaras, holy places of the Sikh religion, has announced opening the doors of a gurdwara for Muslims.

    Hindu extremists have been protesting against the Muslims’ act of offering Friday prayers at open places outside mosques for the last several weeks. As Muslims in larger numbers swarm to mosques to say their weekly Friday prayers, mosques mostly cannot accommodate these big numbers of worshipers and they have to use the open places outside the mosques to say their prayers.

    Keeping in view the protests by Hindu extremists, the local authorities in Gurugram city have stopped Muslims from using the open places outside the mosques to offer their Friday prayers and cancelled the permission letters issued earlier in this regard.

    Hindu extremists have also been disrupting the Muslim Friday prayers at open places by raising their religious slogans.

    Last week, Hindu extremists filled an open place with cow dung where Muslims were going to say their Friday prayers the next day. They said they wanted to turn that place into a volleyball court.

    Against this backdrop, an organisation associated with gurdwaras of the Sikh religion has come forward and announced opening a gurdwara in Gurugram so that Muslims can offer their Friday prayers there.

    Harteerath Singh, Community Development Director at Hemkunt Foundation, wrote on Twitter, “Gurgaon’s Sadar Bazaar Gurudwara is now open for our Muslim brothers to offer their daily namaz keeping in mind the recent events that took place in the city.”

    Despite of death threats, he said that he will “always stand up for truth and sewa (help).”

    In another tweet, he added: “The best part is tomorrow is Guru Nanak Dev jis Gurpurab and Friday namaaz too. What a spectacular sight it will be tomorrow- prime example of brotherhood and humanity!”

    Thousands of Sikh pilgrims will attend the 552nd birth anniversary commemorations in Kartarpur today. An 18-member delegation led by Indian Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh entered Pakistan from the Kartarpur corridor on Thursday.

    Prime Minister Imran Khan has also extended felicitations to Sikhs.
