Bishnoi community ‘ready to forgive’ Salman Khan on one condition
The President of the All India Bishnoi Society, Devendra Budiya said in a statement that he will forgive Salman Khan on one condition. The statement read, “If Salman himself apologises, the Bishnoi society will consider the apology. No one else can apologise on his behalf. If he himself comes to the temple and seeks forgiveness, our samaj (community) could think about forgiving him because one of our 29 rules is forgiveness. Salman should further take an oath that he will never make such a mistake and will work to protect wildlife and the environment, then we can consider a decision to forgive him.”
Earlier, police said that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Vishnoi, played a key role in motivating the shooters. After receiving weapons delivery in Panvel on March 15, 2024, Anmol provided the shooters with the target’s information, instructing them to carry out the firing at the actor’s residence.
The planned firing incident at Salman Khan house was executed as per instructions, during which the shooters received a total of Rs 3 lakh.
