Police launched an investigation and a manhunt for the perpetrators.
Lawrence Bishnoi, currently serving a jail term in Gujarat, has threatened to kill actor Salman Khan. The gang's leader told NDTV, "Anyone in the film industry who works separately from us, or works with Salman Khan, we will kill him." The gang leader stated that Salman Khan is "Dawood's (Ibrahim) dog," and the gang has kept a dog named Dawood at home.
Bishnoi has been in Indian custody since 2015. His younger brother, Anmol Bishnoi, was arrested in California in November 2024 for entering the US illegally. Anmol Bishnoi is facing charges in India for multiple high-profile murders, including those of NCP leader Baba Siddique and singer Sidhu Moosewala.
