4 Bishnoi gang members held for conspiring to attack Salman Khan: Police

The Navi Mumbai police have arrested four members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for allegedly plotting to attack actor Salman Khan, a development coming in the wake of the recent firing outside his Bandra home, a senior police official said on Saturday. The Navi Mumbai launched a probe last month after they received a tip about a conspiracy to target the actor at his farmhouse in the Panvel area, the official said. The police said the four were in touch with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi and had recced the farmhouse and places where Salman Khan worked at the behest of the Bishnoi brothers. The Navi Mumbai named 17 persons, including Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi, in its FIR. The four arrested persons have been identified as Dhananjay Tapesingh, alias Ajay Kashyap, Gaurav Bhatia, alias Nahvi, Vaspi Khan, alias Waseem Chikna and Rizwan Khan, alias Javed Khan. They have been booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, including 120-B .
