“Both individuals, who absconded from Mumbai subsequent to the shooting, were apprehended in Bhuj, Gujarat,” stated officials.
They will be transported to Mumbai for further interrogation, officials added.
The shooting, which took place early Sunday morning, involved two unidentified assailants firing shots outside Galaxy Apartments, where Salman Khan resides, before fleeing.
