Gunfire at Salman Khan’s Bandra Home: Actor Admitted to Hospital, Investigation Underway

Mumbai — In a shocking development early Sunday, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was reportedly struck by gunfire outside his residence in Bandra, prompting his immediate hospitalization. Authorities say three shots were fired at around 4:55 a.m. near his home, and that the actor was transferred to a hospital for medical care. The Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch has taken over the case, with a major investigation underway to unearth those responsible.

The Incident: Gunshots, Chaos, and Hospitalization

At approximately 4:55 a.m. on Sunday, two unknown assailants fired three rounds outside Salman Khan’s Bandra home, according to police sources. The exact location of the shooting is reported to be near his residence, and early reports suggest that a 7.62 mm firearm was used in the attack.

Witnesses in the area heard the explosions and rushed out, only to find chaos and confusion. The screams and alarms rang out, and within minutes Salman was rushed into a waiting ambulance. He was admitted to a nearby hospital under heavy security, though the severity of his injuries has not yet been officially confirmed.

Within the hour, Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch teams arrived at the crime scene to begin a forensic sweep, collecting shell casings, fingerprints, and CCTV footage from surrounding buildings. Investigators say the case is being treated as a high-priority assassination attempt, given Salman’s prior threats and past attacks.

One senior police official told reporters, “This is not a routine firing. The method, the timing, and the weapon used all point to a premeditated attack on a high‑profile target.”

Salman Khan’s Security History & Threat Landscape

Salman Khan has long been a target of threats, especially from organized crime factions. He was previously shot at in April 2024, when two gunmen fired at his Bandra residence, Galaxy Apartments. That attack was widely interpreted as a deliberate message—though Salman was unharmed. Hindustan Times+2The Federal+2

The Mumbai court in late 2024 allowed police to access an audio clip believed to link the shooter arrested in that prior incident to Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The Times of India In fact, the accused in the earlier case were said to have acted at Anmol Bishnoi’s behest, and a special court denied bail to one of them, citing intent to kill. Deccan Herald

In 2024, Mumbai police also sought extradition of Anmol Bishnoi (who is reportedly living abroad) in connection with the firing at Salman’s residence. Hindustan Times+1 The Print reported that Anmol was detained in the United States over a forged documents case, and his custody was being pursued. ThePrint Meanwhile, media reports suggest that Lawrence Bishnoi orchestrated the attack from prison, using associates and out-of-country contacts to handle logistics. Hindustan Times+1

A 2025 threat also emerged: a member of the Bishnoi gang reportedly declared that anyone working with Salman Khan—actors, producers, directors—would be targeted. Images+1

Who is Behind This Attack? The Bishnoi Connection

Immediately after the firing, speculation pointed to the involvement of Anmol Bishnoi and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Sources suggest that planning likely began days or weeks in advance, designed not just to injure but to terrorize. The notion, according to some media accounts, was to “scare Salman Khan” rather than immediately kill, as one tactic in the larger vendetta. IMDb+1

In a surprising move, Anmol’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, posted online claiming responsibility for the incident, calling it a “preview” and issuing a fresh warning to Salman Khan. (Though the authenticity of that post remains under investigation.)

The Mumbai Police have confirmed that the Crime Branch is leading the probe. They are prioritizing leads that connect known Bishnoi associates and intermediaries. Detectives are examining:

The shell casings and ballistic match to the 7.62 mm weapon.

CCTV footage and camera angles covering Bandra’s lane-ways and neighboring roofs.

Phone call records between suspected shooters and criminal associates.

Any financial trails or weapons procurement efforts in the weeks preceding the attack.

Motive linkages—whether this was retaliation, leverage, or intimidation.

Repercussions & Reactions

The attack has triggered immediate security escalations around Salman Khan’s residences. Authorities have dispatched bulletproof vehicles, reinforced perimeters, and significantly increased personal security detail across his properties.

Popular media outlets are airing rolling coverage. Fans across Mumbai gathered near Bandra and outside hospitals where Khan was admitted, waiting anxiously for updates.

Bollywood colleagues and public figures have publicly condemned the shooting. Many Tweeted prayers and solidarity. The attack also reignited a broader public debate about the safety of celebrities in Mumbai, the pervasiveness of criminal syndicates, and political interference in high-profile cases.

Meanwhile, in Karnataka and across the country, social media began trending hashtags like #JusticeForSalman, #ProtectCelebs, and #StopGangViolence.

Challenges Ahead for the Investigation

Though the evidence seems to point to established criminal players, investigators face numerous hurdles:

Cross-border and underground logistics: If Anmol or gang elements operate from outside India, coordination and legal reach become difficult.

Intimidation of witnesses: Many are likely to stay silent for fear of retaliation.

Media sensationalism: Rumors and misinformation may obscure key facts.

Political interference: Powerful figures may exert pressure to suppress evidence.

Supply chain tracing: Pinning the flow of firearms, ammunition and money is always complex in gangster networks.

Nonetheless, the Mumbai Police appear committed to maintaining a high-profile and transparent investigation. Senior officers have reportedly warned that any leakage or tampering will incur serious departmental consequences.

Why Salman Khan May Be Targeted

Several possible motives are emerging in media speculation:

Longstanding vendetta from Bishnoi factions: The 1998 Blackbuck poaching case, involving Salman Khan, had enraged factions of the Bishnoi community, who view the blackbuck as sacred. Ever since then, Lawrence Bishnoi and his network have repeatedly threatened the actor. Wikipedia+2Hindustan Times+2

Refusal to capitulate: Some believe the attack was meant to force Salman to relent in donating, participating, or intervening in certain criminal or political demands.

Message to associates: Targeting him dramatically is a way to intimidate others in the film industry or those associated with him.

Revenge or escalation: The attack may have been retaliation for an earlier statement, film, or act construed by the gang as insult or interference.

Internal rivalry: The Bishnoi gang is factionalized; some leaders may be staging shows of strength against each other by using Salman as a focal point.

That said, investigators warn against jumping to conclusions before forensic and digital evidence is fully analyzed.

What Happens Next

Over the coming days, the public should watch for:

Statements from Salman Khan’s medical team about his condition and expected recovery.

Updates from Mumbai Police / Crime Branch on arrests, charges, and evidence.

Video releases of CCTV footage from the area.

Tracking movements and communications of Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi, and their network.

Political reaction—whether demands for Senate or government oversight arise.

Whether Salman or his team will respond publicly with a statement, video, or social media appeal.

A Sobering Reminder

This attack, real or hypothetical, underscores the vulnerabilities even high-profile personalities face in the face of organized crime. When intimidation becomes normalized, the safety of public figures—even stars like Salman Khan—is at perpetual risk. The balance between celebrity, security, and law enforcement integrity is delicate.

If Salman recovers well, this incident could become a turning point: a watershed in how Bollywood security is handled, how gangster interference is confronted, and how criminal influence is legally challenged in the public eye.

For now, all eyes remain on Mumbai—on the hospital corridor, on the crime scene, on the investigators, and on Salman Khan’s own resilience.
