Aayush Sharma on Firing Outside Brother-in-Law Salman Khan’s Mumbai Home: ‘At This Stage…’

Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma has voiced his worries regarding the fire incident outside the actor's Galaxy apartment in Bandra, Mumbai.

Aayush Sharma, Salman Khan‘s brother-in-law, revealed that the family is going through a ‘tough time’ as a result of the gunfire incident outside the ‘Tiger 3‘ actor’s home in Mumbai. Salman Khan’s Galaxy apartment became the target for opening fire a few days ago. The superstar’s family members, acquaintances in the profession, and admirers were taken aback by this tragedy.

Speaking to ANI, Aayush said, “We are his family. It is a tough time for us. And we all as a family stand together. I believe that at this point of time, it will not be appropriate for me to give any statement or comment because it is a grave situation. A competent Mumbai Police has done a great job in doing what they’re doing, and the matter is still under investigation. So, at this stage, I would just say thank you, to everybody who has sent their love and prayers, that means a lot. And as you all know he’s (Salman Khan) back to work so am I.”

Around five in the morning on April 14, the two males, who arrived on a motorcycle, fired four shots outside the actor’s apartment building, the Galaxy Apartments, and then they ran away. Both of the suspects had bags and wore headgear, according to CCTV evidence.

After the shooting outside Salman Khan’s home, Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently in jail, took to Facebook to take credit for the incident. The two suspects were previously taken into custody by Kutch Police and sent over to the Mumbai Crime Branch.

A municipal court subsequently remanded the two accused of the fire incident to the Mumbai Crime Branch’s custody until April 25. Following a medical check, the defendants, identified as Bihar residents Vicky Gupta, 24, and Sagar Pal, 21, were brought before the court.

Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan also reacted to the incident. Taking to his Instagram handle, he shared a long post. He wrote, “The recent incident of firing by two unidentified person in a motorcycle at Galaxy apartment the residence of the Salim Khan family is very disturbing and unnerving. Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place. Unfortunately, some people claiming to be close to our family and pretending to be the spokesperson have been making loose statements to the media saying it’s all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected which is not true and these views should not be taken seriously,” the statement read.

He also shared that the family is fully cooperating with the Mumbai Police in investigating the matter. “No member of the Salim Khan family has made any statement regarding this incident to the media. At this time the family is helping and cooperating with the police in the investigation of this untoward incident. We have faith in the Mumbai police and we have been assured they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family. Thank you everyone for your love and support,” Arbaaz wrote.

Speaking about Aayush Sharma, he will next be featured in the Karan L. Butani-directed film “‘Ruslaan.’ Jagapathi Babu and Sushrii Mishraa play the main roles in the movie as well.
