In the Salman Khan residence firing incident, the Mumbai Crime Branch detained the third suspected person who was continuously in touch with the shooters. Vickey Kumar Gupta and Sagar Kumar Pal were in regular contact with Sagar's brother, Sonu Pal, who resides in Haryana, where both shooters received their training. The Crime Branch officers also took two individuals into custody from Pune who are suspected of selling the guns to the shooters.

Sonu resides in Haryana, and some money was transferred to his family account. The accused were promised Rs 4 lakh each for the firing, and in advance, they received Rs 1 lakh each. Currently, a team is in Gujarat searching for the gun used in the firing. However, before the firing incident, the shooters parked their bike 100 metres away from Salman's Galaxy Apartment. They walked and checked the police presence, and when they saw no police jeep was outside, they used their bike to carry out the firing and escaped.
