In a dramatic twist to the Salman Khan house firing case, police have uncovered alarming details about gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi. According to a comprehensive 1,735-page chargesheet filed by the Crime Branch, Anmol’s audacious instructions to the shooters who targeted Khan’s Mumbai home on April 14 are now in the spotlight. The chargesheet includes audio recordings of Anmol Bishnoi's directives to the shooters, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal. Bishnoi's instructions were clear: avoid helmets, smoke cigarettes, and act fearlessly to intimidate the Bollywood star. The aim was to make Khan genuinely fear for his safety, as Anmol supposedly urged the shooters to fire with the intent of sending a strong message.

Salman Khan had previously stated his concern for his family’s safety, emphasising that Anmol Bishnoi posed a direct threat. The conversations over the Signal app revealed Bishnoi’s strategy to ensure the shooting made headlines. Anmol allegedly told the shooters, "Fire in a way that Bhai gets scared, keep smoking so you look fearless on CCTV." Moreover, the chargesheet indicates that Anmol was in constant contact with Gupta and Pal before the attack. Even Lawrence Bishnoi, currently incarcerated, reportedly communicated with the shooters. Anmol's ambition was to "create history" by ensuring their names would be splashed across the media. The shooters, along with Sonukumar Bishnoi, Mohammad Rafiq Choudhary, and Harpal Singh, are now in judicial custody.
