In a 1,736-page charge sheet filed by the Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) of the Mumbai Crime Branch, related to the firing incident outside Salman Khan`s residence in April by the Bishnoi gang, it has been revealed that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi aimed to establish supremacy in Maharashtra after his success in northwestern India. Bishnoi targeted Salman to extort money and instil fear, intending to extend his extortion racket further. The charge sheet includes strong digital evidence proving Bishnoi`s involvement, such as a Facebook post shared from Portugal and a five-minute recording of a conversation between Anmol Bishnoi and the arrested accused, which matched Anmol Bishnoi`s voice samples during forensic analysis.
The charge sheet includes statements from Salman Khan and his brother Arbaaz. Salman Khan stated that despite doing nothing wrong, he and his family were being targeted and suffering. He believes Bishnoi is trying to extort money from him and has recounted several incidents where he received threats from the Bishnoi gang in the past few years.
