MUMBAI: Mumbai Police arrested two people on Wednesday for trying to enter actor Salman Khan’s Bandra home.
The accused a 23-year-old man from Chhattisgarh and a 32-year-old woman from Khar, Mumbai.
According to police, the man first appeared at the building’s gate in the morning, claiming he was a fan and wanted to meet the Bollywood star.
When denied entry by a constable posted at the gate, he allegedly smashed his mobile phone in anger.
Later that evening, around 7:30pm, the same individual returned and blocked a resident’s vehicle in an attempt to sneak inside.
