Fifth arrest made over plot to harm Salman Khan

Earlier, the Panvel police had arrested four persons after getting a tip off in September-October last year about a conspiracy to harm the actor. The probe included infiltrating social media groups of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the police said.

In an official release, the Navi Mumbai police identified the accused as Deepak Hawasingh Gogalia, alias Jonny Walmiki, 30. It said Gogalia had made accommodation arrangements for the other accused. He provided logistical and vehicle support. Gogalia was in touch with the other accused through video calls, it added.

The release said he was nabbed after deputy commissioner of police (zone 11), Panvel, Vivek Pansare sought the help of Bhiwani SP Varun Singhala and a crime branch team from Navi Mumbai left for the northern state.
