Around 5 am on Sunday, two motorcycle-borne assailants fired outside Bollywood star Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai’s upmarket Bandra locality and fled, leaving the vehicle near Mount Mary Church, approximately a kilometer away from the actor’s residence.
The Mumbai police’s crime branch told a local court on Tuesday that the two arrested men aimed to kill Salman.
So how did the police crack the case? Sources told CNN-News18 that the crime branch activated its network of informers and started tracking the phones of the two men, which were on.
It was found that they were in Gujarat’s Kachchh district. A team took a flight from Mumbai to Rajkot and then went 350 kilometres by road to Kachchh.
The team reached Nakhatrana city, informed the local police, and took four of their personnel with them in anticipation of the attackers carrying weapons.
Finally, the accused were taken into custody around midnight from the famous Matanomadh temple in Kachchh.
They were brought to Bhuj by road and then taken to Mumbai via an Air India flight (8.55-10.10).
