Actor Salman Khan has revealed that he woke up to the sound of gunshots on April 14 when two bike-borne men opened fire outside his residence in Mumbai's Bandra. Police claim the shooters, hired by Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, had conspired to kill Mr Khan.

A four-member team, including an officer of the Mumbai Crime Branch, visited Mr Khan's house on June 4 to record the statement of Mr Khan and his brother Arbaaz, police said. The two brothers were questioned for six hours in total. Mr Khan told police that he realised his life was in danger and thanked the officials for their help during the investigation of the case.

In his statement, Mr Khan told police that he was home on the day of the incident and had slept late after a party until late into the night. The sound of a bullet which hit his flat's balcony woke him up, he told police. The actor said after he was jolted awake he went to the balcony to check and looked outside but did not see anyone.
