Salman Khan's home under surveillance with 24/7 police patrol, AI-enabled CCTV amid a threat by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang

The security at Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra has been significantly heightened following the recent murder of politician Baba Siddique and threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. A heavy police presence has been deployed around the area to prevent any potential threat to the actor, who has been targeted by the gang in the past.

Over 60 plain-clothed policemen have been stationed around Bandstand and near Galaxy Apartments, working 24/7 to monitor suspicious activity. These officers, adhering to a standard operating procedure (SOP), maintain constant vigilance over every movement in the vicinity.

In addition to personnel, the Mumbai Police have installed AI-enabled high-resolution CCTV cameras equipped with facial recognition technology. These cameras can detect individuals who pass by multiple times, raising an alert if the same face is captured more than three times, suggesting potential reconnaissance. A dedicated command centre monitors the area around the clock.

The police deployment comes after a previous incident in April, when shooters linked to the Bishnoi gang carried out an attack outside Khan's residence, despite existing



security cover.

The scene around Galaxy Apartments now resembles a police barrack, with security checkpoints at multiple locations and officers posted at strategic points. An estimated 60 uniformed policemen, including female officers, are stationed outside the building, with police vans and jeeps reporting to Bandra Police and the Protection Branch.

Visitors to the building are thoroughly screened, with all identities recorded and checked before entry. No unauthorised individuals or fans are allowed to gather outside the apartment.

Salman Khan's Y-plus security cover includes a team of eight to ten armed policemen, some of whom travel with him. His movements are coordinated with local police stations, which secure the area before his arrival.

Adjacent to Salman’s building is the bungalow of actress Waheeda Rehman, while a Parsi colony lies to the left—both secured premises. In front of the building is the amphitheatre, followed by the sea.

Behind the ten-foot boundary wall at the rear is an apartment building, which is also monitored by plainclothes policemen. Additionally, police personnel are stationed along the boundary wall.
