A gang claim on social media — unverified
Two social media accounts — one named Anil Pandit (Anmol Bishnoi) and another named Harman Sandhu — posted claims that the firing was carried out by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Police have NOT verified who runs these accounts or whether the claim is real. Every mention of the gang’s role must be read as a claim, not a confirmed fact.
The claim post said Shroff had been “warned” earlier. It also threatened anyone in Bollywood who works with Salman Khan.
Here’s the part many readers miss: there’s a big difference between a gang “claim” and a police-confirmed finding. Gangs rush to post claims because fear is the goal — the post itself does the intimidating. A claim on social media is not proof. Police will need to match the shooters, the weapons, and the evidence before anyone can say who ordered the firing.
