The Lawrence Bishnoi gang recently launched a second plot to attack Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Panvel, Maharashtra. This comes almost two months after the firing incident near his residence in Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, that took place on April 14. Four gangsters from the Bishnoi gang who were plotting to target Salman at his farmhouse, were held by the police last week. 

Amidst this, a new report has come up suggesting that the recent attempt to attack the superstar has a connection to the late Punjabi singer, Sidhu Moosewala. For the uninitiated, Moosewala was shot dead in his car on May 29, 2022.
