Gangster Rohit Godara, who is currently living abroad, claimed responsibility for Munjal's murder in a social media post. He is said to be closely associated with gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, his brother Anmol, and Goldy Brar.

This decision was likely influenced by Godara's extensive network of professional shooters spanning several states in India.
In the obtained CCTV footage, both suspects sported caps and carried backpacks. Additionally, the clip showed them firing towards the actor's residence. One of the suspects donned a white t-shirt paired with a black jacket and denim pants, while the other wore a red t-shirt with denim pants.

If the only decision against oppression is war, then so be it. Salman Khan, we have only shown you a trailer so that you understand the magnitude of our strength and do not test it. This is the first and last warning. Also, we have two pet dogs named after Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel, whom you consider your Gods. I don't want to say much. Jai Shri Ram!”

Why is Salman Khan receiving threats?
It was last year that Salman Khan received a death threat from Canada-based infamous gangster, Goldy Brar, who openly professed that the superstar was on his gang’s hit list. Last year, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that Khan topped the list of 10 main targets that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, citing the actor's 1998 black buck hunting incident, which according to the gangster, offended the Bishnoi community.
Earlier in the year, Mumbai Police had filed an FIR against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, along with another individual, following an email threatening Salman Khan at his Mumbai residence. Following such threats, Khan travels with an elaborate security team. He was granted Y+ security after he reportedly received a death threat from the Bishnoi Gang.
