Bollywood actor and superstar Salman Khan narrowly escaped from assassination attempt by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's sharpshooter according to the Indian media.

Earlier this week, Salman and his father Salim Khan received a letter with a death threat from an unknown person. The superstar’s security was tightened and an FIR was also registered with the police. As the investigation was underway, a shocking report surfaced.

As per Times Network, jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi had sent a sharpshooter with a small-bore weapon hidden in a modified hockey casing to kill Salman Khan. The sharpshooter was apparently planted outside the residence of the superstar who tried to assassinate him. However, he backed out of the mission at the last moment by chance.
