Following a gunshot incident outside his brother Salman Khan's home at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, Bollywood star Arbaaz Khan spoke on behalf of his family on Monday.

On April 14, two people who are thought to be connected to mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is incarcerated, showed up on a motorcycle and opened fire outside Salman's house with five shots.


"The recent incident of firing by two unidentified persons on a motorcycle at Galaxy apartment, the residence of the Salim Khan family, is very disturbing and unnerving," Arbaaz said, expressing significant concern over the situation. This horrific event that occurred has shocked our entire family.


A few individuals posing as close to the Khan family were also criticized by Arbaaz for their "loose statements to the media, saying it's all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected." It was "not true and these views should not be taken seriously," he confirmed.

"At this time, no Salim Khan family member has spoken to the media about the incident. He stated that the family is currently assisting and collaborating with the authorities in their investigation into this unfortunate tragedy.

With the words, "We have been assured they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family," the Farrey actor expressed his confidence in the Mumbai police. I appreciate all of your kindness and support, everyone.
