The two persons fired at least four rounds outside the Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area, where the actor resides, at around 5 am and fled from the spot, the police said after the preliminary probe.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had a telephone conversation with Salman Khan after the incident.

In March last year, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor received a threat e-mail from Canada-based fugitive gangster Goldy Brar, who openly declared that the Bollywood superstar was on his gang’s hit list.

Following the threat, Mumbai Police registered an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar and another person under Indian Penal Code sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 506-II (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention).

The FIR was based on a complaint lodged with Bandra Police by one Prashant Gunjalkar, who according to police frequently visited the Bandra-based residence of Khan and ran an artist management company.
