Actor Salman Khan is the prime target of Lawrence Bishnoi, according to an NIA document accessed by India Today. HT can't verify the claims made in the report.

Khan came under the radar of Bishnoi because of his alleged role in the killing of a blackbuck in 1998. The animal is considered sacred by the Bishnoi community. He had sent a gangster named Sampat Nehra to carry out a recce of Khan's Mumbai home. The plan could not be carried out because Nehra was arrested by the police. Earlier this year, a group fired outside Khan's house.
