THANE: Unidentified assailants opened fire outside the residence of a social media influencer in Maharashtra’s Thane district early Saturday morning, police said. The incident took place around 4am in Mumbra. While no one was injured, a car belonging to the influencer, Nadeem “Baba” Khan, sustained minor damage in the firing, officials said to news agency PTI. “Two rounds were fired at Khan’s house. Fortunately, there were no casualties,” a senior Thane City Police officer said, adding that a case has been registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. A video circulating on social media purportedly shows Khan confronting the attackers. In the clip, he also claims that he had earlier submitted a memorandum to police alleging threats to his life, but no action was taken. Police said they are verifying these claims and examining CCTV footage from the area to identify those involved in the shooting.
