However, his interrogation took a sudden turn when the member revealed that the gang's next target was Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
And according to further revelations from the interrogation, the attempt was not planned in haste. In 2018 Sampat Nehra, another member of the gang had been arrested. That was when he conducted a recce of Salman Khan's Galaxy apartment in Bandra.
The motivation for this attempted killing is still uncertain, but as per reports it can be traced back to 1998.
Salman Khan was involved in killing two blackbucks in Jodhpur back then. The Bishnoi community's strong admiration led to Lawrence Bishnoi, the gang leader, holding a grudge against the star and thus the gang were ready to take on the assassination plot.
Salman Khan had moved back to his apartment after 4 months of self-quarantine in his farm house. And he will be featured in the next season of "Big Boss" and in "Kick 2"
