breaches this week. According to police sources, two separate incidents of trespassing were reported on consecutive days, prompting swift arrests and heightened scrutiny around the Bollywood superstar’s security measures. A man from Chhattisgarh and a woman from Mumbai were apprehended for illegal entry into the high-profile Bandra building, where the actor resides with his family.
The first incident took place on May 20, when Jitendra Kumar Singh, a man reportedly from Chhattisgarh, entered the Galaxy Apartments in an attempt to meet Salman Khan. Sources from within the Mumbai Police department told India Today that Singh was initially stopped around 9:45 am by a police officer posted as part of Khan’s personal security team. When confronted, Singh allegedly refused to leave the premises and created a scene by violently smashing his phone on the ground in frustration. The officer asked him to leave, but the situation escalated when Singh returned later the same day, using a car that reportedly belonged to a resident of the building. This unusual method of return raised suspicions and eventually led to his arrest around 7:15 pm by a police constable stationed at the property.
Singh reportedly told officers during interrogation, “I wanted to meet Salman Khan, but the police were not letting me meet him, so I was trying to hide.” A case was filed against him under section 329(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and he was handed over to the Bandra police for further investigation.
Just a day later, on May 21, Isha Chhabra, a 36-year-old woman, was caught trespassing into the same building. Details surrounding how Chhabra entered the premises remain limited, but Mumbai Police confirmed that she too has been booked for illegal trespassing and taken into custody. The proximity of the two incidents and their targeting of the same celebrity residence have raised questions regarding existing security protocols.
Security around Salman Khan has been a sensitive subject in recent times, especially following threats and earlier attempts to breach the premises. The Galaxy Apartments have remained under tight watch, often surrounded by fans and media personnel. With these recent back-to-back intrusions, there is growing concern over how determined individuals are able to get past initial levels of building security.
Officials have assured the public that further enhancements are likely to be implemented, including surveillance upgrades and restricted access policies. At present, both accused individuals remain under investigation, with law enforcement authorities probing any possible connection or larger motive behind these back-to-back incidents.
The dual trespassing episodes also underscore the sometimes obsessive nature of celebrity fandom in India, where fans occasionally overstep personal boundaries to connect with their idols. For Salman Khan, who has long been a central figure in Bollywood and the subject of immense fan following, such security breaches pose not just personal risk, but also a potential threat to public safety in a highly residential area.
Mumbai Police have stated that all necessary legal procedures are being followed, and the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, the actor’s team has not issued an official statement regarding the incidents. The public, fans, and residents alike are awaiting further clarification as the probe continues.
