This is the sixth arrest in the firing incident. Singh's name came up during an investigation of accused Mohammed Rafique Chowdhary, another Bishnoi gang member arrested earlier this month in connection with the firing, according to the official. Singh had requested Chowdhary to do a reconnaissance outside Khan's home and had also given him Rs 2-3 lakh, according to the police. Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently at the Sabarmati Central Prison in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and his younger brother Anmol Bishnoi, who is thought to be in the United States or Canada, have been named in the firing case.

On April 14, two motorbike riders opened fire outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai's Bandra district before fleeing.
