The source added, "Further, he also asked them not to make any visits to Galaxy Apartments as it is getting inconvenient for other members of the society as well."

Incident details
Details of the incident outside Khan's residence
On April 14, two men on a motorcycle fired four rounds outside Khan's house in Bandra at approximately 4:51am before swiftly fleeing the scene.
Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported in this unsettling event.
On Monday, it was reported that one of the shooters has been identified as Vishal Rahul, a notorious criminal from Gurugram, Haryana.
Known for his association with gangster Rohit Godara, Rahul is also linked to the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Perpetrators
Anmol Bishnoi has claimed responsibility for the attack
On Sunday, following the shooting, Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the act on social media.
Anmol's Hindi post roughly translated to, "We desire peace, but if the decision against injustice is through war, then so be it. Salman, we fired at your house to show you a trailer so you understand our strength and do not test us. This is our first and final warning."
"After this, bullets won't miss your empty house."
