Actor Salman Khan lives in Bandra, and on Sunday at five in the morning, two unknown individuals on a motorbike opened fire outside his home, according to Mumbai Police. Three gunshots have been reported to the police outside the Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra neighbourhood. The Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police has arrived at the site of the investigation.

Experts in forensic science also made their way to the scene, according to the police.

In the meantime, the actor spoke on the phone with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Additionally, he talked with the commissioner of Mumbai Police and recommended that Salman Khan's protection be stepped up.

The police have started gathering CCTV footage in order to identify the individuals. Additionally, there is now more security outside the actor's residence.

Regarding whether the actor was in the house when the tragedy occurred, neither the police nor Khan's family have released an official statement.

The firing incident outside Salman Khan's house has prompted a response from Siv Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey. Dubey made fun of the government of Eknath Shinde by remarking, "Criminals are roaming around fearlessly". Nobody feels safe in Mumbai or Maharashtra, he continued. As you are aware, there was a recent shooting incident in Mumbai and an MLA was shot in Dombivali. This is what kind of law and order? Where are you, Chief Minister, Home Minister? The Home Minister ought to be aware of this occurrence."
