The Indian police on Tuesday gunned down four members of a dreaded mafia gang just as they were attempting to kidnap Nepal-born actress and popular Bollywood star Manisha Koirala, the AFP reported.
The four hit men were killed in a police encounter at the Lokhandwala complex in Mumbai Tuesday evening when they tried to open fire at a police patrol, which stopped their car. The four criminals died on the way to the hospital.
The Nepal-born actress was the target of an elaborate kidnap plan hatched by the Sharjah based under world don Abu Salem.
