Bollywood superstar Salman Khan escaped an assassination attempt on Tuesday as the police foiled the plans of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
According to reports, the police apprehended one of their sharpshooters, who was assigned to take out the Dabangg star.
While Salman Khan is considered to be one of the biggest names in Bollywood, the actor’s life has not always been about the glitz and glamor of the entertainment industry.
The Bajrangi Bhaijaan star has been on the wrong side of the law on several occasions. Salman Khan’s most infamous incident has been the killing of two endangered blackbucks in Jodhpur all the way back in 1998. At the time, the actor was shooting the film Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Currently, the Bollywood star is sentenced to five years in jail but is out on bail at the moment.
