Earlier, in January 2024, two individuals were arrested by Panvel Taluka Police for attempting to unlawfully enter Salman Khan's farmhouse in Panvel. According to the police, the trespassers were arrested inside Salman's Arpita farmhouse by security personnel on January 4. Upon arrest, the men provided false names and addresses. Later when their Aadhar cards were checked they were identified as Ajesh Kumar Gila, 23 and Gurusevaksingh Sikh, 23, both residents of Fazilka district in Punjab.

Mumbai police enhanced security cover of the actor last year following threats issued by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Now, the police are investigating whether the trespassing incident in January had any connection with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi as the arrested were also from Punjab. On Sunday at around 5 am, two men on a motorcycle fired four rounds outside Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra, where the actor resides, before swiftly fleeing the scene.
