The recent arrest of a Bishnoi gang member, Sukha alias Sukhbir Balbir Singh, has sent shockwaves through the Bollywood industry and the Indian public. Sukhbir was apprehended in connection with an alleged conspiracy to kill Bollywood megastar Salman Khan. The news of the arrest came just days after another Bishnoi gang member was detained in relation to the murder of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister, Baba Siddique. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of prominent figures in India and the growing influence of criminal gangs.
Sukhbir's arrest took place in Panipat, Haryana, by a Navi Mumbai police team. He was subsequently remanded in four-day police custody by a court in Panvel, Maharashtra. This comes as part of an ongoing investigation into a case registered by Navi Mumbai Police on April 24th, 2023. The case involves 18 identified and other unidentified members of the Bishnoi gang accused of plotting to kill Salman Khan at his Panvel farmhouse. The police investigation began following a shooting incident outside Salman Khan's Bandra residence in Mumbai, which was allegedly carried out by Bishnoi gang members.
The arrest of Sukhbir is just the latest development in a string of events that have exposed the intricate connections between the Bishnoi gang and the world of Bollywood. The gang, known for its involvement in criminal activities like extortion and murder, has been linked to several high-profile incidents in the past. The alleged attempt to kill Salman Khan, coupled with the murder of Baba Siddique, underscores the growing influence of organized crime in India. Authorities are working tirelessly to dismantle these criminal networks and ensure the safety of all citizens, particularly those who are vulnerable to threats from criminal gangs.
