Two accused individuals allegedly involved in the firing incident at actor Salman Khan's house in Mumbai were apprehended by the Mumbai Crime Branch from Bhuj.

The accused individuals, identified as Vicky Sahibsaab Gupta and Sagar Srijogendra Pal, hail from West Champaner Bihar and were found in the Matanamadh Mandir premises in the Nakhtrana Taluka area.

The Mumbai Police received information from Local Crime Branch Bhuj regarding the whereabouts of the suspects and in a coordinated operation they arrested them.

The two accused were brought to Mumbai via flight and produced before a magistrate court on Tuesday. 

A case under sections 307 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act Section 25(3) has been registered against the accused individuals, based on a complaint filed with the Mumbai Crime Branch.

Following interrogation, both suspects confessed to their involvement in the crime, leading to their arrest.

Before the shooting incident, police alleged that the two accused had conducted three reconnaissance rounds around the actor's home in the Bandra area.

Two motorcyclists opened fire outside the 58-year-old Khan's home at the Galaxy Apartment in Bandra at about five in the morning on Sunday.

Hours after the firing case outside Salman Khan's home, Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed the responsibility of the act.
