In the firing case outside Salman Khan's house, the actor has sent a defamation notice to the accused's lawyer Amit Mishra. Actually accused Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal's lawyer Amit Mishra spoke to the media on September 4. He said, 'My client's family members are afraid of Dawood Ibrahim's slaves who are in jail. They may kill Sagar and Vicky on Salman's request. Salman has sent a defamation notice in this matter.
On this notice, Amit told Frontpage Insights, 'I have just presented my client's side. Defamation notices have been sent to me to intimidate and coerce me even though I did not say anything on my part. I am a lawyer, but now I am a victim. If anything goes wrong with me, Salman Khan will be responsible for it.
First, Vicky and Sagar's family members read the letter written to the Home Ministry…
Sagar and Vicky's families have written two separate letters. Similar things are written in both the letters. Only the name of the complainant has been changed.
The letter read – We fear that Salman Khan may use his power to kill Dawood Ibrahim's friends Vicky and Sagar, as Anuj Thapan died suspiciously in police custody a few days ago. We request the government to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of Vicki and Sagar.
'If you don't apologise, you are threatened with lawsuits and financial penalties' Amit said, 'Salman Khan has sent me a legal notice and asked me to apologize within 48 hours. The notice says that if I don't apologise, they will file a case against me. Financial penalties are also mentioned. I do not understand on what basis the notice has been sent to me. I represented only the family of the accused. Whatever was written in the letter was disclosed to the media.
Amit said – If anything happens to me, Salman Khan will be responsible for it. Amit said that a powerful lawyer like Ram Jethmalani fought the case of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's killers. After this he became an MP and then the Law Minister of the country. Then what crime have I committed by taking the case of those shooters, due to which Salman is being so aggressive towards me?
In fact the thing is that I am deliberately getting myself into legal trouble, so that I can get upset and drop the shooters case. It can be inferred from the fact that on September 18 there was a hearing on the bail application of one of the accused, but I could not go despite being the main party. This is because I am afraid. I don't understand what will happen to me now. I want to say against Bhaskar that if any untoward incident happens to me, Salman Khan and his related people will be responsible for it.
After the firing case, Salman's security has been increased significantly. It currently has Y+ category security.
The lawyer said – I don't have the power and money as Salman, so I am ready to apologise. Amit Mishra further said that 'constitutional rights of lawyers have been attacked. Attempts have also been made to bend the media, the so-called fourth pillar of democracy. Knowing that it is not my fault, but if Salman Khan feels bad about me, I am ready to humbly apologize to him. I am saying this because I neither have as much money nor power as Salman. I cannot fight them directly.
Salman's legal team said – this is just an attempt to tarnish his name Following Amit Mishra's statement, we spoke to Parag, a lawyer associated with DSK Legal Firm. He said, 'Yes, Salman Khan is our client. On his behalf we have sent a defamation notice to Amit Mishra. Amit Mishra is openly tarnishing our client's name in front of the media. He has relations with some underworld dons and talks such nonsense.
Now no matter how many arguments he gives, he himself has come in front of the media and said such things. Now you can't get away with saying that we were speaking, but the words were someone else's, so we have to respond.
Second, they are not in danger from anyone. They are trying to tarnish the name of our client by saying such things. Currently, Amit Mishra has given a short reply in response to this notice. He has sought a month's time to present his case legally.
The accused were arrested from Gujarat Mumbai Police arrested shooters Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal from Gujarat. While Anuj Thapan (32) was arrested from Punjab on April 26 along with another person in this case.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol claimed responsibility for the attack According to Mumbai Crime Branch officials, gangster Lawrence and his brother Anmol have been declared wanted accused in the case. After the attack, Anmol took responsibility for the firing outside Salman's house by writing a post on Facebook.
