Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan on Monday issued a statement on behalf of his family in response to a shooting incident that occurred outside his brother Salman Khan's residence at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai.
On April 14, two individuals, believed to be associated with imprisoned gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, arrived on a motorcycle and fired five rounds outside Salman’s residence.
Expressing deep concern over the incident, Arbaaz wrote, “The recent incident of firing by two unidentified persons on a motorcycle at Galaxy apartment, the residence of the Salim Khan family, is very disturbing and unnerving. Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place.”
Arbaaz also hit out at some people claiming to be close to the Khan family for making “loose statements to the media, saying it's all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected.” He affirmed that it was “not true and these views should not be taken seriously.”
“No member of the Salim Khan family has made any statement regarding this incident to the media. At this time, the family is helping and cooperating with the police in the investigation of this untoward incident,” he said.
The Farrey actor reposed his faith in Mumbai police, saying, “We have been assured they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family. Thank you everyone for your love and support.”
