GUWAHATI, OCT 17: Police achieved a major success in their investigations into the alleged threat to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan following the arrest of a person from Haryana.
Navi Mumbai police apprehended the accused wanted in connection with the alleged plot to kill the Bollywood actor, news agency PTI reported quoting an official.
The report mentioned the accused as one Sukha who was apprehended by a police team from Panipat.
The arrested accused is being brought to Mumbai where he will be produced before a court today, police said.
Earlier in the week, security was beefed up at the Galaxy apartment of the superstar following the killing of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique.
Siddique, leader in Ajit Pawar’s faction of the NCP, was shot dead, allegedly by assailants of the Bishnoi Gang, in Bandra on Saturday night.
The Bollywood actor has been receiving threats from the Bishnoi gang and attempts were made, at least twice, by the gang recently to kill the actor.
In April this year, bike-borne assailants had shot at Galaxy Apartments, allegedly to “scare” the actor on the instructions of Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi.
Navi Mumbai police in June foiled another attempt to kill the actor following a tip-off that members of the Bishnoi gang were keeping a watch on the actor’s movements.
