Hyderabad: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was once again targeted as at least three or four bullets were fired at his Bandra West home early morning on Sunday. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has now flung into action and reached the spot for investigation. Two unidentified individuals wearing helmets carried out the terrifying deed. They drove up on a motorbike, shooting at least four times towards Galaxy Apartment before taking off down the dark, deserted road.
Police jump to action
A Bandra Police squad responded quickly to the incident, reinforced security in the area, and conducted preliminary investigations at the Khan residence. The police are searching the area's CCTV footage to identify the shooters and investigate their motivations and intended targets. A few hours later, at least one gunshot mark was discovered on the gate leading to the building entry by a Crime Branch and Forensic Team that included ballistics experts.
Excavation of CCTV footage
The perpetrators have not yet been identified despite multiple CCTV footages of the incident emerging online. The quality of the CCTV film is quite low, and the bike's registration number was obscured by the darkness. Moreover, both men had worn helmets, further obscuring their identity. A criminal branch officer talking to news portal revealed, "We are using the assistance of technical experts to clear CCTV footage and get a few leads in the matter. The most recent development is that the Bandra police station has filed a case in this same regard. Currently, on the scene, a group of forensic specialists is collecting evidence. It has come to light that one gunshot struck the wall of the building."

Salman Khan (58) shares a home with his parents, his brothers and their family members at the iconic Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra sea-facing neighbourhood of suburban north-west Mumbai. For the uninitiated, Salman Khan was at his house when the gunshot incident happened.
