Sena Leader Raises Conspiracy Concerns after Accused in Salman Khan Firing Case Dies in Police Lock-up

The day after an accused in the case related to the firing outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence died by suicide in police lock-up, a top Shiv Sena (UBT) leader hinted at a conspiracy behind it. Anuj Thapan (32) allegedly hanged himself with a bedsheet in the toilet on the first-floor lock-up located in the crime branch’s building inside the police commissioner’s office compound in Mumbai.

Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey expressed suspicion, saying, “Is it also possible that some politician is involved in this, some big police officer is involved.” Dubey questioned how such an incident could happen in the supposedly secure lock-up of Mumbai Police.

“There are CCTV cameras, there are so many officers… This is a big conspiracy,” Dubey claimed. The Sena leader stated that the party will appeal to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to investigate the matter seriously.

on April 14, two shooters had opened fire outside Salman Khan’s resident in Bandra. Thapan, who was accused of supplying weapons to the shooter – Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta — was arrested along with his co-accused Sonu Kumar Bishnoi from Fazilka in Punjab.

Thapan’s family has demanded that his post-mortem be conducted outside Mumbai. His brother Abhishek Thapan has asserted that Anuj could not have died by suicide and demanded ‘justice’.
