Man, Woman Trespass Into Salman Khan's House, Taken Into Custody
Last Updated:
In April 2024, gunshots were also fired outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area.
In a shocking incident, two people entered Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai on May 19th and 20th, respectively. CNN-News18 has learnt that a man entered the Bollywood superstar's house at around 7:15 pm on May 20th. However, he was soon caught. He has been identified as Jitendra Kumar Singh and is said to be a resident of Chhattisgarh. He is currently in police custody.
Prior to this, a woman also tried to enter Salman Khan's residence in the wee hours of the same day. She has been identified as Isha Chhabra and is reportedly 32 years old. It is being said that the woman was near the lift area of Salman Khan's building when the security guards caught her. She was then handed over to the Bandra police. A case has been filed, and further investigation is underway.
While more details are awaited, this has surely raised concerns about Salman Khan's security, who has also been getting death threats for a long time now.
In April 2024, gunshots were also fired outside Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster's brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post. After the shocking incident, Salman's security was upgraded.
Later in July, Salman Khan also recorded his statement in connection to the house firing case when he claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was trying to kill him.
'I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment's first-floor balcony. There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learnt that Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the attack from social media. So, I believe that it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing on my balcony," Salman Khan told the anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch.
In March this year, Salman was promoting his movie Sikander when he talked about death threats and answered if he is scared of the multiple death threats he has received. 'Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai. Kabhi kabhi itne logon ko saath mein leke chalna padta hai, bas wohi problem ho jaati hai," the actor said.

‘Jaws' turns 50: How the film fuelled ‘decimation of shark population'
'[A] tiger shark's like a garbage can, it'll eat anything.' '[T]he thing about a shark, he's got… lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'… until he bites ya… then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the ocean turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they… rip you to pieces.' It was descriptions like these in Steven Spielberg's Jaws, released 50 years ago on June 20, 1975, which had an enduring influence on the public perception of sharks, especially great whites. The portrayal of these creatures as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters petrified audiences for decades, the movie's tagline — 'Don't go in the water' — etched in people's psyche. While Jaws, based on the eponymous book by Peter Benchley, was credited for ushering in the era of summer blockbusters, it has contributed to a sharp decline in the population of sharks. The movie's popularity led to an increase in hunting of the animal, both formally and informally. The number of shark-fishing and shark-killing tournaments also increased dramatically, especially on the east coast of the United States. Jennifer Martin, an environmental historian at the University of California, told CNN, 'I'm struggling to think of a parallel example of a film that so powerfully shaped our understanding of another creature… They were killing machines. They were not really creatures. They weren't playing an ecological role.' Are sharks really man-eaters? How many people die due to shark attacks annually? What is the ecological role of sharks? Are these animals under threat? The unfounded paranoia about shark attacks Jaws shows an epic battle between three men and a 'rogue shark' who has developed a taste for human flesh. The animal attacks its victims with purpose, and munches on some body parts while leaving a head or arm as a warning to anyone who swims in its waters. Experts say this is not how sharks behave in reality. David Shiffman, an interdisciplinary marine conservation biologist, told the BBC, 'They don't stalk humans, and the idea of 'rogue sharks' that develop a taste for humans is pseudoscientific nonsense.' Although there are records of sharks attacking humans, the animal did not evolve to feed on humans. Sharks have existed on the planet for at least 400 million years, and predate dinosaurs by several hundred million years. The animal only encountered people just a few thousand years ago when humans started to explore the sea. Many experts believe that most shark attacks are cases of mistaken identity, meaning a shark may confuse a person for prey. That is why sharks usually take a bite out of people, and then move on. On average, 63 people are bitten by sharks across the world annually, of whom five or six die. 'More people are bitten by other people in New York City each year than are bitten by sharks in the whole world… It's extremely rare that someone is killed [by sharks],' said Shiffman. Sharks, not humans, are under threat While Jaws did contribute to an increase in the hunting of sharks, the animals were being targeted by humans much before the release of the movie. For example, white shark populations began to decline in the mid-1950s. One of the primary reasons for this is the rise of commercial overfishing. Sharks are intensively fished for meat and other products such as shark-fin soup, served as an expensive delicacy, particularly in China, Taiwan and parts of Southeast Asia. Other factors that are driving the dip in the shark population include climate change, pollution, pollution and habitat destruction. A 2024 study, published in the journal Science, found that annual shark mortality was at around 100 million — a number that rose during the last decade. Another study, published in the journal Nature in 2021, revealed that the global abundance of oceanic sharks and rays had declined by 71% since 1970. Currently, nearly a third of shark species are threatened with extinction, according to a 2021 analysis published in the journal Current Biology. But why does this all matter? Put simply, sharks play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. For instance, as apex predators, they consume plant-eating fish which tend to excessively eat ocean vegetation such as seagrass meadows and kelp forests that absorb carbon through photosynthesis. This predatory behaviour of sharks helps maintain the marine carbon cycle. These animals also disperse grazing fish and curb their foraging efforts. As a result, sharks help reduce the chances for any loss of stored carbon which can be disturbed by foraging behaviour and activity by fish. Sharks are known to shape the behaviour and distribution of marine animals throughout the ocean as well. As they create a 'landscape of fear', these animals influence where prey species move. This ensures that no one species dominates an area, thus allowing multiple species to coexist which reduces the risk of habitat destruction. As sharks swim throughout the different ocean layers, they mix nutrient- and oxygen-rich deep water with nutrient-poor surface waters which ultimately benefits creatures living in the ocean's surface water such as phytoplankton. These are the reasons why experts and activists in recent years have been trying to conserve the population of sharks. Even Spielberg and Benchley publicly acknowledged the role of the movie and the book in stoking fear of sharks. In 2022, Spielberg said, 'I truly and to this day regret the decimation of the shark population because of the book and the film. I really, truly regret that.'

Salman Khan opens up about his health struggles: "Trigeminal Neuralgia tha..Aneurysm hai brain me uske bawajud kaam kar rhe hai"
Salman Khan, better known as the bhaijaan of the industry, has always been known for her strength and swag. The moment you hear his name, the first thing that comes to mind is power, muscular physique, and India's most charming eligible bachelor. However, what a lot of people don't know is that behind this super-beast personality, the actor has been dealing with multiple painful health conditions. Yet, like a true showman, he never lets his pain come to his face and works on the philosophy, 'the show must go on.' The 'Bajarangi Bhaijaan' actor had earlier opened up about dealing with multiple serious conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, a brain aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations. More recently, during his appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, he again referred to his health struggles in a fleeting comment. Here's what Salman Khan said about his health issues It all started with the million-dollar question that has been a friend and a foe of Salman Khan for decades - 'Is there any girl in his life?' On a lighthearted note, Salman replied, there is no one in his life, and in all fairness, he doesn't have the patience to make all those sacrifices and endure the husband-wife quarrels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He is at a stage where he enjoys his space, which he wouldn't like to share with anyone. Then he jokingly added, 'Divorces happen over minor things, and on top of that, he takes away half the money. ' Salman continued that the fortune that he had made with so much hard work, despite several health issues, he could not see half of it going away, as it would be difficult to build again. He said, 'So hum ye jitni bhi haddiyan tudva rahe hai, pasliyan toot gayi, trigeminal neuralgia tha uske bawajud kaam kre, aneurysm hai brain me uske bawajud kaam kar rhe hai, AV malformations hai, uske bawajud chal rhe hai.. Action, yaha se kudna, vaha se girna, chalne ko nahi ho rha, dance kr rhe hai…ye sab chal rha hai… or jaha unka mood satka, vo aadha humara le kar chla gya. (So all these bones that have been broken, ribs fractured, had trigeminal neuralgia yet worked, there is an aneurysm in the brain yet we are working, there are AV malformations, yet we are still going on. . Action, jumping from here, falling over there, not even able to walk, still dancing.. all this is going on, and whenever her (in context of a partner) mood snaps, she can leave with half of it.)' Salman Khan's health struggles Reportedly, Salman Khan started having symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia around 2007. Back then, he was shooting for 'Partner'. He endured severe pain for several years and had to work through it to shoot his movie. In 2011, he went to the United States for surgery.
