According to a charge sheet issued by the Navi Mumbai Police and seen by sources on Thursday, October 17, Bollywood actor Salman Khan had a contract worth Rs 25 lakh stolen from him close to his Panvel home in Maharashtra.

Five defendants have been named in the case, and the charge sheet claims that the Bishnoi gang, commanded by imprisoned mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, stole the contract. The accused were getting ready to purchase weapons from Pakistan, such as the AK-47, AK-92, and M-16, as well as the Turkish-made Zigana, which was used to shoot Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala.

The accused claimed that they were hiding in Pune, Raigad, Navi Mumbai, and Gujarat and that they had hired numerous youngsters under the age of eighteen to murder Bollywood actors. Between August 2023 and April 2024, between 60 and 70 persons watched Salman Khan’s movement to kill him at Bandra House, Panvel Farmhouse, and Goregaon Film City.

Based on the charge sheet Sukkha, who was taken into custody on Thursday in Panipat, Haryana, attributed the murder to four conspirators and the designated gunman, Ajay Kashyap, also known as AK. Following an examination by the accused Kashyap, they concluded that they would need expensive weaponry to execute out the murder because of the Khan’s security and bulletproof cars.

While negotiating the conditions of the arms purchase, Sukkha used a video chat to reach Dogar, an arms dealer stationed in Pakistan, and displayed an AK-47 and other cutting-edge weapons covered in a shawl. After Sukha paid 50% in advance and the remaining balance upon delivery in India, Dogar consented to provide the guns.

All of the gunmen were awaiting approval from Goldie Brar, a Canadian mobster, and Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of Lawrence Bishnoi. According to the charge sheet, they would meet at Kanyakumari after shooting the actor, from which they would take a boat to Sri Lanka and then to a place where Indian detectives couldn’t get to them.

MLA Manda Mhatre inaugurates multiple development projects in the Belapur assembly constituency.

The Project

As a result of MLA Manda Mhatre’s efforts, the city continues to see tremendous growth, with new projects being started and several existing ones being inaugurated in the Belapur Assembly Constituency. Residents were enthusiastic about the recent projects in the Nerul and CBD divisions that improved local facilities and infrastructure. The construction and enhancement of Kranti veer Vasudev Balwant Phadke Park in Sector-8B, Central Business District Belapur, is one of the key initiatives. Under the Urban Settlement Improvement Scheme, the park will undergo a transformation at a budget of Rs. 15 crores.

Modern features including solar lights, a gazebo, an LED global tunnel, a rock climbing wall, FRP walls, a selfie point, and distinctive lighting shows with gobo and web-type themes will all be included in the makeover. By creating a “magic garden” experience, this project hopes to improve locals’ access to recreational areas. Residents of Belapur are excited about the park’s development work, and many of them appreciate MLA Manda Mhatre’s efforts to provide the neighborhood with high-quality recreational facilities.

Moreover, a Bhumipujan ceremony was conducted to dedicate Rs. 20 lakhs from the MLA Fund to the construction of a Virangula Kendra (leisure center) for elderly persons at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Udyan in Nerul’s Ward No. 84. The event, which was attended by local senior folks, served as the launchpad for the project to create a facility just for them. Additionally, CCTV cameras were installed in Sectors 2 and 4 using Rs. 20 lakhs from the MLA Fund to improve security in the Nerul area. By providing constant monitoring akin to that of reality shows where competitors’ performances are closely watched, the installation seeks to establish a security system. It is anticipated that the CCTV system will increase security and discourage illegal activity in the locality.

MLA Manda Mhatre reaffirmed her dedication to Navi Mumbai’s development during the event, saying that these projects are in line with her goal of updating the city’s infrastructure and improving the standard of living for its citizens.
