The Mumbai Crime Branch has made another arrest in the case of firing outside Salman Khan's house. Harpal Singh, 38, also known as Harry, was apprehended from Bhirdana village in Fatehabad district, Haryana. This marks the sixth arrest in the shooting incident at Salman's residence. Law enforcement officers had been in Bhirdana for four days before apprehending Harry.
According to a Crime Branch officer, Harry has been associated with the Bishnoi gang for four to five years and was involved in recruiting Chaudhary. He provided Chaudhary with 3 lakh rupees, which Chaudhary then passed on to shooters Vikki Gupta and Sagar Pal. Chaudhary had sent a reconnaissance video recorded outside Salman Khan's house on April 12 to Anmol and Harry. It was Harry who initially communicated with Chaudhary through Anmol and maintained contact with Anmol.
Harry is also accused of involvement in a shooting incident in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. A few months ago, he posted a video on Instagram showing a gunshot wound on his hand.
Following his arrest, Harry was brought before a court in Haryana, which granted transit remand. He was subsequently taken to Mumbai and presented in the MCOCA court, where he has been remanded to police custody until May 22.
