Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang members had talked about killing Khan and his relatives earlier too, the statement said, adding, “So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members, carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping and (they were) planning to kill me and my family members.” He and his family had received several other threats in recent years, the actor told police.In 2022, a threat letter was found on a bench opposite his building, while in March 2023, they received an email threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, he said.Two unidentified persons tried to trespass into his farmhouse near Panvel using fake identities in January 2024, the actor noted.Police filed the 1,735-page charge sheet in the firing case before the special court for Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act cases earlier this month.The court recently took cognizance of the charge sheet, saying that prima facie there was enough material to proceed against the six arrested accused.Those arrested in the case were Vickykumar Gupta, Sagarkumar Pal, Sonukumar Bishnoi, Anujkumar Thapan (now deceased), Mohd Rafiq Choudhary and Harpal Singh.Thapan allegedly committed suicide in police custody after his arrest.The other five are now in judicial custody.
