The Gujarat Police nabbed the two gunmen from Kachchh, Gujarat on Tuesday. Subsequently, they handed over the two accused to Mumbai Police. The shooters were flown down to Mumbai afterward.

Two shooters fired gunshots outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence 'Galaxy Apartments' in Mumbai at around 4:00 AM on April 14, Sunday. Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the incident.
