The gunshot-firing incident outside Salman Khan's residence yesterday sent shockwaves across the film industry. The Mumbai police are currently investigating the matter while tightening the superstar's security. The Khans are safe. After the terrifying incident, the All Indian Cine Workers Association issued a letter, coming out in support of Salman. The body appealed to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to pay more attention to the superstar's security and take action against the group behind the firing.
The letter by the All Indian Cine Workers Association read, "Two individuals fired shots outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's house this morning. Salman Khan is not just known in Bollywood or India; he is recognized worldwide for his contributions. The fact that gunfire is occurring in Mumbai, especially in the city's most VIP area, raises concerns about the safety of ordinary citizens when Salman Khan himself is not safe. In the current election atmosphere, gangsters are brazenly firing shots."
The cine body further added, "The All Indian Cine Workers Association appeals to Prime Minister Honourable Shri Narendra Modi and Home Minister Honourable Shri Amit Shah to pay more attention to Salman Khan's security and eliminate the groups responsible for the shooting. This incident has created a climate of fear in the entire Bollywood Film Industry; gangsters could exploit this fear to extort money from Bollywood, as Salman Khan, often called the Godfather of Bollywood, is being targeted."
The letter concluded saying, "The All Indian Cine Workers Association stands with actor Salman Khan and his family because Salman Khan is a part of our family (Bollywood). Additionally, the Gangster, whoever he may be, aims to make a name for himself by targeting Salman Khan, given Salman's immense fame. It's imperative for the authorities to take action against these perpetrators to prevent further incidents of firing, as every life matters, and the entire Bollywood industry, as well as the nation, stands firmly with Salman Khan."
Salman and his legal team are yet to react to the firing incident.
