Mumbai: A sessions court on Friday rejected the bail plea of Vickykumar Gupta, one of the two men accused of firing several rounds at the balcony of actor
Salman Khan's Bandra home on April 14 at the behest of gangster
Lawrence Bishnoi.
He was arrested two days after the firing.
Police have submitted a 1,736-page chargesheet against five alleged aides of Bishnoi. They are in jail.
Another accused, Anuj Thapan, allegedly died by suicide inside a police lockup on May 1.
Opposing his bail plea, the prosecution submitted, "At the behest of Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi (his Canada-based cousin and gangster), the main accused in the organised crime syndicate, Vickykumar Gupta purchased a motorcycle used in the crime. During the period of the crime, Vickykumar Gupta was in constant contact with Anmol Bishnoi through the Signal app and was taking instructions to carry out the conspiracy and accordingly, fired at Salman Khan's residence with the intention of killing him."
A copy of the detailed order is yet to be made available.
