Mumbai/New Delhi: One of the two arms supplier in the firing case outside actor Salman Khan’s house allegedly tried to die by suicide while in police custody, sources said.
Anuj Thapan, 32, who was arrested from Punjab on April 26, allegedly tried to die by suicide and is said to be in a critical condition, sources said.
He and another accused, Sonu Subhash Chander, allegedly gave the weapons used in firing outside the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor’s Mumbai home on April 14.
All the four accused are known to be connected with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, whose main activities according to the anti-terror body National Investigation Agency (NIA) involve kidnapping, murder, extortion for ransom, cross-border smuggling of sophisticated weapons and narcotics, in-land smuggling of contraband, and illegal liquor smuggling.
The Mumbai crime branch last month said it had found strong evidence against Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi, after which the crime branch announced both as the most wanted suspects in the case.
