Mumbai Police have arrested a man and a woman for allegedly separately trespassing on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's building in Mumbai's Bandra area over the past two days, a police official said on Thursday, reported the PTI.

Two FIRs were registered in connection with the incidents that took place on two consecutive days this week, said the official.

He said that the incidents took place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The official said a man, identified as Jitendra Kumar Singh (23), on Tuesday allegedly entered Galaxy Apartments in Bandra (West), where the actor lives.

Singh was first seen roaming around Khan's house in the morning. A policeman deployed there for the actor's security asked him to leave. In a fit of rage, Singh, who hails from Chhattisgarh, smashed his mobile phone on the ground, said the official from Bandra police station, as per the PTI.

"That evening, Singh entered Galaxy Apartments in a car belonging to a person living in the same building. However, he was stopped by the police again. This time, they handed him over to the Bandra police," the official said, according to the PTI.

During interrogation, Singh told the police he wanted to meet the actor. He claimed that he tried to sneak in as the police were not allowing him to enter the building, the official said, the news agency reported.

It was immediately not clear how Singh got into the car of the resident of Galaxy Apartments.

In another similar incident, a woman entered the building on Wednesday and even managed to reach up to Salman Khan's flat, the official said.

Both Singh and the woman have been arrested. Cases of trespassing have been registered against them, the official added.

Salman Khan's security was upgraded following a series of threats to the actor.

Over the last two years, Khan and his family have received numerous threats. On April 14, 2024 two motorcycle-borne assailants fired five rounds outside his heavily guarded residence, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra. The shooters - identified as Vicky Gupta (24) and Sagar Pal (21) - initially managed to flee to Gujarat. However, they were later apprehended.
