Bandra police arrestes struggling actor, fan trying to sneak into Salman Khan’s building

Mumbai: An inquiry has been launched into two incidents of security breach in two days at actor Salman Khan's Bandra home despite his Y+ security.

Isha Chhabria (32), an aspiring model-actor and Khar resident, entered Galaxy Apartment at 3am Wednesday claiming she was a building resident. She reached the actor's first-floor flat, rang the doorbell and told one of his staffers she had been invited by Khan. When the staffer checked with Khan, he denied inviting anyone home at that hour. As the staffer called the guards and police, Chhabria managed to walk out. She was tracked down with the help of CCTV footage and arrested a day later.

Police are examining the security lapse as there were no guards outside the actor's flat at that time.
The previous day, a Chhattisgarh resident Jitendra Kumar Singh (23), who claimed to be Khan's fan, was nabbed after he jumped inside the compound from the front gate and tried to run into the building.

Chhabria, who hails from UP, was arrested for trespass and house break-in and produced before the Bandra court which sent her to one day in police custody. Singh who too was caught for trespassing was served a notice and asked to remain present when called for questioning.

Security was intensified outside actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence Thursday following two incidents of security breach registered with Bandra police.

Cops located Isha Chhabria, an aspiring model-actor, at her Khar residence after filing an FIR at Bandra police station Wednesday night. A police officer said, "She left after the actor's caretaker called security guards and the police. She was tracked with the help of footage from 30 CCTVs from Bandra to Khar. She managed to enter the building after tricking security at the main gate and confidently walked in."

The officer said after her arrest, Chhabria told cops she had met Khan at a gathering six months ago, and continued to maintain that she had landed up at the actor's residence only upon his invitation.

Police are examining the security lapse for Chhabria's unauthorised entry at 3am without verifying her claims and noting there were no guards outside the actor's first-floor flat at that time. "The woman also successfully left through the main entrance without detection. An inquiry has been initiated," an officer said.

On Tuesday, Chhattisgarh resident Singh was spotted near Khan's building at 9.45 am. When constable Sandip Rangari asked him to leave, Singh threw his mobile phone in frustration and left.

"He returned at 7.15 pm and managed to enter the main gate of Galaxy Apartments after blocking a car belonging to a person living in the same building. However, he was stopped and handed over to Bandra police," Rangari said in the FIR. Singh might have given a false Chhattisgarh address to Mumbai cops. Durg police told TOI there is no location named ‘Dhumardhin' in the district.

DCP Dikshit Gedam confirmed the cases without elaborating on them. Both Gedam and joint commissioner Satyanarayan Chaudhari did not comment on TOI's security breach queries. Khan was provided with Y-plus security status after two bikers, allegedly linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, fired four rounds at Khan's residence on April 14, 2024. Before the incident, Khan had been given two police constables for security.

The Bandra police arrested two people — a man and a woman — in two separate incidents for allegedly attempting to enter Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s house in Galaxy Apartments in Bandra West. The police have registered two different FIRs, one on Tuesday and another on Wednesday, and have begun investigations into the matter.

Police have identified the two people as a 22-year-old woman, Nisha Chabra, a junior artiste who wanted to meet the actor, and a 22-year-old fan of Khan, Jitendra Kumar Hardayal Singh.

“In the first incident, Singh was seen loitering near Galaxy Apartments on Tuesday around 9.45 am. He told the security guard that he wanted to meet Salman Khan, but the guard refused and advised him to leave the premises. Singh became angry and threw his mobile phone at the ground before leaving the area,” said a police officer.

However, later that evening, Singh returned at around 7.15 pm and managed to sneak into the society, hiding behind a car. A police officer and security guard Kamlesh Mishra caught him and handed him over to the Bandra police for further investigation. The Bandra police promptly registered an FIR against Singh and arrested him. Singh, a resident of Chhattisgarh, told the police that he is a fan of Khan and wanted to meet the actor for a selfie, but the security guard did not allow him. This prompted him to enter the apartment unlawfully.

In another incident which took place on Wednesday, Chabra was caught by the security guard and police while trying to enter the Galaxy Apartments. The woman, a junior artiste, told the police that she wanted to meet Salman Khan in the hope of getting film roles. She also revealed that she has been struggling to find work in the film industry for some time, and that the actor had given her appointment so she tried to meet him. Khan, who has received several threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been provided ‘Y-plus' security cover by the Mumbai police.
