Salman Khan recently became a victim of major safety scare, as two assailants fired three rounds of bullets at his Mumbai home, Galaxy Apartments on April 14, 2024. While everybody remained unharmed, the attack was later accepted to be planned by Lawrence Bishnoi, on whose hitlist Salman has been for long, especially due to the actor’s involvement in the infamous black buck case. Moreover, on April 26, 2024, the investigating team for the attack arrested the two accused shooters from Punjab.
According to a recent report by the Hindustan Times, one of the accused shooter in Salman Khan’s house firing incident, Anuj Thapan has been found dead in Mumbai Police’s custody. Preliminary reports suggest that the accused attempted a suicide inside the lockup. Moreover, after taking such a drastic step, he was rushed to the hospital by the Mumbai Police crime branch, where he was announced brought dead on arrival.

Anuj Thapan and Sonu Subhash Chander were two accused who got arrested in Punjab, for allegedly supplying guns to the shooters who attacked Salman Khan’s residence. After Anuj’s suicide, the senior police officer, PK Jain, in an interview with NDTV, divulged what could have actually happened and stated:
“All the policemen in the police station will be questioned by the CID (criminal investigation department). There have been cases when people have died by suicide with a noose made from pajamas inside lock-ups... A policeman always guards the lock-up to ensure inmates don't escape, and also to keep an eye on suicide attempts.”
Right after such a terrifying incident, Salman Khan, surrounded by a heavy entourage of security personnel and bodyguards, jumped back to work, and attended an event in Dubai. In one of the videos which has gone viral from his visit, the actor seems to avoid a journalist’s question, when the former asked him about his well-being post the firing incident. He simply shrugged away the question and said:
“Ho gaya ho gaya.”
