A team of Mumbai police officials, including Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Lakhmi Gautam and encounter specialist Daya Nayak, arrived outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s house, where unidentified persons fired gunshots early Sunday.

In the wee hours of Sunday, two motorbike-borne unidentified persons opened fire outside Khan’s house leading the police to enhance security around his residence and launch a search for the accused, an official said.

In a video released by news agency ANI, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Lakhmi Gautam and encounter specialist Daya Nayak were seen outside Salman Khan’s house as they began an investigation into the case.

Security outside Khan’s residence was stepped up and the police were collecting footage of the CCTV cameras installed near his house to identify the persons. Local police, crime branch personnel and a team of forensic experts reached the spot to collect evidence and started a probe into the incident.

The two persons fired four rounds outside the Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai’s Bandra area, where the actor resides, at around 5 am and fled from the spot, the police official said.

In March last year, an e-mail threatening Khan was received at his office following which the Mumbai Police registered an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar and another person under Indian Penal Code sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 506-II (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention).

The FIR was based on a complaint lodged with Bandra Police by one Prashant Gunjalkar, who according to police frequently visited the Bandra-based residence of Khan and ran an artist management company.
