Salim Khan Responds to Gun Firing Incident at Salman Khan’s Residence: ‘He Will Maintain His Schedule as Usual

In a shocking incident on April 14, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai’s Bandra neighborhood experienced a breach in security. Two unidentified individuals riding a motorcycle fired multiple rounds outside Galaxy Apartments, where Khan resides. Thankfully, no one was injured. However, this incident has caused a wave of concern throughout the industry regarding the actor’s safety.

Responding swiftly to the incident, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde personally reached out to Khan, assuring him of enhanced security measures. After the arrest of the two assailants and their subsequent return to Mumbai, Chief Minister Shinde met with the Khan family to discuss the situation.

A few days later, Salim Khan, the veteran screenwriter and Salman Khan’s father, acknowledged the ongoing police investigation and the assurances provided by the state government. Speaking to India Today in Hindi, he said, “What’s there to talk about? These ignorant people who threaten to harm you will know their lesson when we take action. We have been given additional police protection, and the Mumbai Police have assured us and our friends of safety. The fact that they have arrested two individuals shows that they are actively working on the case.”

He further emphasized, “There is no need to fear. The matter is now in the hands of the police. The Maharashtra government has guaranteed us full protection, and Salman will continue with his usual schedule.”

Salman Khan has been under Y-plus category security, which provides a high level of security detail for individuals facing serious threats, for nearly a year. Following the incident, authorities further strengthened security measures around Khan and his family. Media outlets captured Salman exiting the apartment complex for the first time since the incident, surrounded by significant police protection.

Chief Minister Shinde paid a visit to Salman Khan’s residence on Tuesday. After the meeting, he addressed the media, reiterating the government’s commitment to ensuring Khan’s safety and making it clear that such acts would not be tolerated. He stated, “I have assured Salman Khan that the government stands behind him, and his safety is the government’s responsibility. We will ensure that no one dares to commit such acts in Mumbai,” as reported by PTI.
