In his facebook post, Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi had claimed responsibility of this incident. He had said, "We want peace. If the only decision against oppression is war, then so be it. Salman Khan, we have only shown you a trailer so that you understand the magnitude of our strength and do not test it. This is the first and last warning. After this, shots will not be fired outside the house only. And we have dogs named after Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Shakeel, whom you consider to be Gods. Now, I don't have the habit of talking much." Lawrence Bishnoi is currently in jail. He was arrested for his involvement in a drug smuggling case investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Lawrence Bishnoi is also an accused in the Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala murder case.
