Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi allegedly admitted during questioning that he “wanted to kill” Bollywood actor Salman Khan in 2018. Bishnoi is being questioned in relation to the murder of well-known singer Sidhu Moosewala.
During the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, in 1998, Bishnoi allegedly told the police he wanted to kill Salman Khan because of the Chinkara poaching case.
A letter threatening Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan was reportedly delivered last month by three members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. According to reports, the letter claimed that Salman Khan and his father would suffer the same fate as Moosewala, who was assassinated in Punjab’s Mansa on May 29 while it was still daylight.
According to reports, Bishnoi claimed during interrogation that the Bishnoi community in Haryana, Rajasthan, and Punjab holds Chinkara or blackbucks in high regard.
Khan was given a five-year prison term by a Jodhpur court in April 2018 for the 1998 murder of two blackbucks. The actor has challenged the conviction. In connection with the case, Khan was initially detained in the Jodhpur jail before being transferred to the Bharatpur jail.
Bishnoi allegedly confessed to ordering his Rajgarh-based colleague Sampat Nehra to assassinate Salman Khan during interrogation. According to reports, Nehra was running away at the time in other situations.
