Mumbai: A 20-year-old youth has been arrested for booking a cab from Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence in the name of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said police today (April 19). According to Mumbai Police, the accused has been recognised as Rohit Tyagi, a 20-year-old man resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
Sharing details of the incident, police said that the accused had booked a cab in the name of Lawrence Vishnoi from Galaxy Apartment, the house of actor Salman Khan, to the Bandra Police Station.
Accused Rohit Tyagi, who was picked up from his hometown, intended it to be a prank, an official said. On Wednesday, Tyagi allegedly booked a cab online for a journey from Galaxy Apartments, Salman Khan’s residence, to the Bandra police station. When the cab driver reached the address, he realised that it was a prank, and lodged a complaint.
Taking serious note of the incident, Bandra police registered a case and traced Tyagi. Bishnoi was in the news earlier this week after a motorbike-borne man fired at Khan’s residence last Sunday.
While the alleged shooter and his accomplice were arrested, police had said they were probing the Bishnoi gang’s role as a Facebook post taking responsibility for the attack, created in the name of Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of the jailed gangster, surfaced after the incident.
