He also reeked of Goregaon Film City which included Salman's farm house and several shooting locations. During the investigation, it also came to light that around 60 to 70 men of the Lawrence gang were keeping an eye on Salman Khan.
The police also seized many such videos from the mobile phones of the arrested accused. In fact, all of them were linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's social media group. It was in this group that Salman was being planned to be killed.
They were planning to attack Salman through minors. After the attack, his plan was to escape to Sri Lanka by boat from Kanyakumari. Anmol Bishnoi's name came up as the mastermind in this case too.
Baba Siddiqui was shot dead outside his son Jeeshan's office on the night of October 12.
It is said that Baba Siddiqui was killed to avenge the death of Anuj Thapan Recently, on the night of October 11, Baba Siddiqui was shot dead while leaving the office of his MLA son Jeeshan Siddiqui in Mumbai.
After this incident, a Facebook post went viral on social media. In which a person named Shubham (Shubham) Lonkar claimed that the reason behind the murder was Anuj Thapan's death in custody and Baba Siddiqui's closeness with Salman Khan.
Anuj Thapan, 23, was involved in the April 14, 2024 shooting outside Salman Khan's Galaxy apartment. He supplied arms to the two shooters.
Anuj was arrested along with two other accused from Punjab. A few days later he committed suicide by hanging himself with a bed sheet in a lock-up toilet.
After Anuj's death, his family accused the police of murder. After this death in police custody, Anuj's village sarpanch Manoj Godara said that he was under pressure from the Mumbai police. Anuj's mother also alleged that he was subjected to third degree torture while in police custody.
The NIA, in its charge sheet released in May 2023, said that only Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar were decision makers in the gang.
The order of two people in the gang was earlier revealed to be the last Earlier in May 2023, the NIA's charge sheet had revealed that Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar were the final say in the gang, while Lawrence's cousin Sachin Thapan oversaw the recruitment and planning of new criminals.
His brother Anmol Bishnoi oversees financial and manpower logistical support for the gang along with UAE-based Vikram Brar and US-based Darman Singh.
Lawrence and Goldie show the target. Sachin Thapan, Anmol Bishnoi, Goldie, Vikram Brar call and threaten the target.
Lawrence never talks directly to a shooter. He only talks to Goldie, Sachin, Anmol. A criminal in this gang keeps in touch only with the criminal above him.
It works only with chain system. Not all gang members involved in this crime know much about each other.
This is the reason why when a person is arrested, he cannot give much information to the police about other associates. Currently, Sachin Thapan and Vikram Brar have been caught by the police and are in jail.
