In a tragic development, the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique has been linked to his close association with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. According to Mumbai Police’s crime branch, Siddique’s connection to the actor played a pivotal role in his killing, which is seen as a message from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to those who are emotionally or financially tied to Khan. This gang has had a longstanding grudge against Salman Khan, ever since his involvement in the blackbuck poaching case. The incident now highlights the growing threat to the actor’s inner circle.
Salman Khan’s Connection: Why Baba Siddique Was Targeted
Baba Siddique, known for his strong emotional and financial ties to Salman Khan, became a target of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang, which harbors deep resentment toward Salman Khan due to the blackbuck poaching case—where the actor was a key accused—saw Siddique as a valuable target to send a message to the superstar’s associates.
According to sources, Siddique’s murder is a clear warning to anyone close to Salman Khan, emphasizing that the gang has widened its focus beyond just the actor. Siddique’s tragic death serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing dangers surrounding those connected to the Bollywood star.
A Broader Threat: Salman Khan’s Close Associates Under Attack
This isn’t the first time that the Bishnoi gang has targeted someone associated with Salman Khan. Earlier this year, an incident took place outside the home of Punjabi singer AP Dhillon in Canada, where shots were fired. Dhillon had collaborated with Salman Khan on a music video, and the gang claimed responsibility for the attack, further solidifying the growing threat.
A senior police official commented on the rising danger, saying, “The gang seems to be targeting anyone with close emotional or financial ties to Salman Khan. Baba Siddique’s murder is part of a larger pattern where the gang is sending a message to everyone in Khan’s inner circle.”
Mumbai Police Respond: Strengthening Security Around Salman Khan
Following Baba Siddique’s murder, Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar held several emergency meetings to address the security lapses. Police officials are now investigating why no prior intelligence was received indicating that Siddique was a target, marking the incident as a serious intelligence failure.
“We recognize this as a major intelligence failure, and we are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again. We are reviewing our systems to understand why no warning signals were picked up,” a senior officer stated.
The police have now directed Mumbai’s crime branch, the Anti-Terrorism Squad, and special units to gather detailed information on everyone connected to Salman Khan. This move aims to prevent further attacks on the actor’s associates. Authorities are also focusing on identifying illegal arms routes into Mumbai, as the use of firearms in these crimes poses a significant threat.
The Final Moments of Baba Siddique
Witnesses present during the day of Baba Siddique’s murder recounted the tragic event. After shots were fired, three party members rushed to get help. One long-time associate, who had worked with Siddique for nearly 28 years, grabbed him and, along with a police officer, tried to get him to the hospital.
In his final moments, Siddique reportedly told them, “I’ve been shot. I won’t survive. I’m going to die.” As they sped toward Bhabha Hospital, Siddique’s condition worsened. After crossing the Kherwadi signal, he collapsed, and by the time they reached the reclamation area, Siddique had passed away.
The Growing Threat in Bollywood
Baba Siddique’s murder has sent shockwaves through both the political and entertainment industries, highlighting the increasing threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. While Salman Khan has long been on the gang’s radar, this incident shows that even his close associates are now under attack.
Mumbai Police continue to strengthen security measures around Salman Khan and his inner circle, but the tragic death of Baba Siddique underscores the severity of the threat and the need for heightened vigilance.
