In the latest twist in the recent shooting outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home, the city’s Crime Branch has taken Sonu Gupta, the brother of prime suspect Vicky Gupta, into custody for questioning. Mumbai police sources suspect his involvement in the plot and are currently probing the matter.
According to police disclosures, the main accused, Sagar Pal, was drawn to the allure of a gangster’s lifestyle and became associated with a criminal network to pursue his ambitions. Allegedly, he was offered a lucrative sum to carry out the shooting outside Salman Khan’s residence.
The incident unfolded on a Sunday morning in Mumbai when two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle pulled up outside the residence of Salman, and opened fire. Concealed behind helmets, they executed the attack with precision, suggesting careful planning.
