Key Questions Answered

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is targeting Salman Khan and his associates due to a decades-old dispute stemming from the 1998 blackbuck hunting case in Rajasthan, as blackbucks are considered sacred by the Bishnoi community. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi demands a public apology and has warned that anyone working with or supporting Salman will face severe consequences and attacks.

Three men on a motorcycle opened fire on Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai's Juhu area around 7 pm on a Sunday while he was returning home from a football match, injuring his driver and an autorickshaw driver. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that Tiger had previously ignored their warnings regarding his association with Salman Khan.

Following the attack, the Mumbai Police set up 15 teams to track down the perpetrators and detained one suspect for questioning in Santacruz. The actual shooters, who were allegedly hired by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, were subsequently arrested by authorities at the Kota railway station in Rajasthan while traveling by train.
