Salman reportedly said, "I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment's first floor balcony.

The chargesheet also revealed that around 70 people were put in place to track the actor's movements, and the surveillance network was spread across Mumbai, Salman's Panvel farmhouse and even Goregaon Film City.
