Reportedly, Lawrence Bishnoi planned to kill Salman Khan when he goes on his bicycle ride in the morning during which the actor doesn’t keep any security personnel with him; however, the plan was aborted as on D-Day, when the sharpshooters were about to carry out their plan, an escort of Mumbai Police engaged with the actor when he was about to leave.
