"Two unidentified people opened fire."
In a shocking incident, gunshots were allegedly fired outside Salman Khan’s house.
The shooting occurred on Sunday, April 14, 2024, and security has been heightened as a result.
Hindustan Times reported that two unidentified people fired outside the Dabangg star’s residence.
The report added that Salman’s father – the veteran screenwriter Salim Khan – went for a walk after what transpired.
It stated: “Today at around 5 am, two unidentified people opened fire outside the house of actor Salman Khan in Bandra.
“Police have received information about three rounds of firing.
“Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch has reached the spot for investigation.
“Salim Khan is not perturbed at all and carried out his routine as always.
“The family is very cautious and careful. Salman Khan is safe and sound and is with them.”

In recent times, Salman has been in the headlines for receiving death threats.
During a 2023 interview on Aap Ki Adalat, the actor delved into his feelings of fear.
He explained: “I am going everywhere with full security.
“I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do.
“It is not that I will start roaming freely. It is not like that.
“Now there are so many Sheras around me, so many guns are going around with me, that I am myself scared these days.”
Salman amassed support on X following news of the incident.
One fan wrote: “This is also a true thing. Bhai supports everyone in the Bollywood industry and has been doing so.
“But no one from Bollywood even tweets for Salman Bhai. #Shameonyoubollywood.”
Shiv Sena leader Anand Dubey reacted to the shooting and said:
“Whether it is Salman Khan or any common man, no one is feeling safe in Mumbai and Maharashtra.
“You have seen that recently there was a firing in Mumbai and an MLA fired in Dombivali.
“This morning there was a firing outside Salman Khan’s house. What kind of law and order is this?
“Home Minister, Chief Minister, where are you?
“Criminals are roaming around fearlessly. The Chief Minister and Home Minister should take cognisance of this incident.”
NCP-SCP leader Supriya Sule added:
“It’s extraordinarily unfortunate as the area where Salman Khan lives is a popular area and his family is clearly under pressure.
“It’s a complete failure of the Home Ministry.”
“We live in Pune and look what is happening here, it’s a very educated place where people live in peace and harmony, but here also, the crime has gone up.
“It’s not me making the allegations but the data given by the government of India for Maharashtra.”
On the work front, Salman Khan will next be seen in Sikandar, wherein he will be collaborating with AR Murugadoss.
