Baba Siddique, a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), was shot dead outside his office in Mumbai on Saturday evening.
There are allegations that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang is behind the murder.
A viral social media post claimed responsibility for the shooting, linking Siddique to actor Salman Khan. The post warned that anyone aiding Salman Khan would be dealt with similarly.
Siddique, 66, was attacked by three men who shot him multiple times. Police recovered six bullet shells from the scene, and the gun used was allegedly ordered through a courier.
Two suspects were arrested, revealing their connection to the Bishnoi gang, which is notorious for violence and extortion.
Following the threats, Salman Khan’s security has been significantly increased, with armed personnel stationed outside his home.
The tension stems from a long-standing feud; Bishnoi holds a grudge against Khan for killing Blackbucks in 1998, an act that humiliated Bishnoi’s community. In a previous interview, Bishnoi declared his intent to kill Salman Khan unless he apologized.
This isn’t the first time Khan has faced threats from Bishnoi’s gang. There have been multiple incidents, including threat emails and letters addressed to Salman Khan and his family, referencing past murders linked to the gang.
Reportedly, Salman Khan is devastated by the developments.
The atmosphere in Mumbai is tense, raising fears among stars and citizens about the resurgence of gangsters in the city. The political landscape appears unstable.
The recent formation of weak governments in Maharashtra worsens the situation. As the assembly elections approach, such incidents instill fear and anxiety among the public.
