On April 14, two motorbike-borne persons opened fire outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence in Bandra area. The incident sparked concerns and raised questions about the actor's safety and the motive behind the attack.
In a recent development, as reported by Live Law, the Bombay High Court has ordered the removal of Salman Khan's name as a respondent in a plea seeking a CBI probe into the custodial death of Anuj Thapan, an accused in the case of firing outside the actor's house.
Thapan was found dead on May 1 inside the toilet of the crime branch police lock-up. Rita Devi, Thapan's mother, had filed a petition seeking a CBI investigation into her son's death. However, the Bombay High Court division bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Shyam Chandak directed the petitioner to remove Salman Khan's name from the petition.
The court stated, "Delete his name. Petitioner seeks leave to amend the petition to delete the name of respondent 4 (Salman Khan) as there is no pleading against him and no relief sought against him."

Loosely translated, the post read, “We want peace. If the only decision against oppression is war, then so be it. Salman Khan, we have only shown you a trailer so that you understand the magnitude of our strength and do not test it. This is the first and last warning. After this, shots will not be fired outside the house only. And we have dogs named after Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Shakeel, whom you consider to be Gods. Now, I don't have the habit of talking much.”
