A team from the Crime Branch conducted the arrests, and the accused are being transported to Mumbai for further legal proceedings. Meanwhile, a Mumbai court has extended the police custody of two other individuals, Vicky Gupta (24) and Sagar Pal (21), until April 29. Gupta and Pal, hailing from Bihar, are accused of firing shots outside Salman Khan's residence at the Galaxy Apartments in Bandra on April 14, before fleeing on a motorbike.

Furthermore, the Mumbai Crime Branch accompanied one of the accused, Vicky Gupta, to the Tapi river in their efforts to locate the firearm allegedly used in the incident. Notably, both Vicky and Sagar were previously apprehended in Gujarat's Bhuj. Originally charged under IPC section 307 for attempted murder, three additional sections—506 (2) for threatening, 115 for incitement, and 201 for destroying evidence—were added to the FIR, with the possibility of further sections being included as the investigation progresses.

It's believed that the two suspects were getting orders from the Bishnoi brothers. The Mumbai police have named Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi as wanted criminals in relation to the shooting. Just before the shooting happened, Anmol Bishnoi claimed responsibility for it in a Facebook post. The police traced the location of the post to Portugal.

The Facebook account under Anmol's name was made using a phone number from another country, according to the police.
