What Pooja Bhatt said
She tweeted, "Horrific and condemnable. If this can happen with a police van parked outside the Khan residence for protection then it is fair to say that safety is an illusion. Need more stringent surveillance in Bandra for certain. Robberies were rife a while ago and now a shoot out? Scary."
The original tweet by ANI read, "Today at around 5 am, two unidentified people opened fire outside the house of actor Salman Khan in Bandra. Police have received information about 3 rounds of firing. Mumbai Police's Crime Branch has reached the spot for investigation: Mumbai Police."
After the firing incident, Mumbai Police increased security outside Salman's house. Police have so far recorded statements of more than five people in connection with the case, as per ANI.
