Salman Khan house firing case: On Wednesday, Anuj Thapan, an alleged party to the firing incident outside Bollywood star Salman Khan’s Bandra home, committed suicide while under police custody in Mumbai.
Anuj Thapan used a bedsheet to hang himself inside the lock-up toilet. The officer said he pronounced him dead while he was receiving treatment at the GT Hospital, which is maintained by the state, after being sent there.
The Mumbai Police reported, “He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died.”
At the south Mumbai police station, Azad Maidan, an accidental death report would be filed.
According to the police, they detained Thapan and Sonu Kumar Bishnoi in Punjab for allegedly providing guns to Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, the shooters previously taken into custody.
Three suspects who were detained in relation to the shooting at Salman Khan’s home were placed under arrest by a special Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) court in Mumbai on April 29 and will remain in police custody until May 8.
Sonu Kumar Chander Bishnoi was placed in judicial custody due to health concerns, and Vicky Gupta, Sagar Pal, and Anuj Thapan were placed under detention in police custody by Special MCOCA Judge AM Patil.
Authorities previously utilized the applicable sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act to book the accused.
The police invoked the strict MCOCA rules against the accused shooters Gupta and Pal, as well as Bishnoi and Thapan, suspected of providing guns and ammunition, and wanted accused mobster Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol.
