A MUMBAI court on Friday remanded to police custody till April 30 two men arrested from Punjab in connection with the firing outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra. Subhash Chander (37) and Anuj Thapan (32) were produced before a magistrate’s court. The crime branch on Thursday arrested the duo, who had allegedly provided weapons and cartridges to the shooters, from Punjab.

 

The police informed the court that the accused were key persons in the crime and were arrested based on technical evidence. They need to be interrogated to find out who supplied them with weapons and asked them to give the same to the two shooters arrested earlier, police said. The police have alleged that Chander and Thapan had come to Panvel (in Raigad district near Mumbai) on March 15 to hand over two country-made pistols and 38 live rounds to the shooters Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta.
