Mumbai: Mumbai Police have arrested another member of the Lawrence Bishno gang in connection with the shooting outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence here last month, officials said on Tuesday.
The accused, identified as Harpal Singh (34), a resident of Fatehabad in Haryana, was arrested by a Mumbai Crime Branch team from his hometown on Monday evening, an official said.
He said Singh was brought to Mumbai early Tuesday and will be produced in court later in the day.
This is the sixth arrest in connection with the firing incident.
On April 14, two motorcycle-riding men opened fire outside Khan's residence at Galax Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area and fled from the spot.
The officer said Singh's name cropped up during the interrogation of accused Mohammad Rafiq Chaudhary, another member of the Bishnoi gang, who was arrested in the firing case earlier this month.
Police said Singh had asked Choudhary to conduct recce around Khan's residence and he had given him Rs 2-3 lakh.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi, who is believed to be in the US or Canada, have been named in the firing case.
