In a shocking revelation, it has been reported that the shooters responsible for the murder of Baba Siddique had initially planned to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, due to the actor’s tight security, they were unable to carry out the assassination. The murder of Baba Siddique has brought to light the dangerous connections the shooters had with notorious gangs, including the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been targeting Salman Khan for some time.
Salman Khan on the Shooters’ Hit List
During the investigation, one of the accused in the murder of Baba Siddique disclosed that Salman Khan had been on the shooters’ hit list before Baba Siddique was targeted. However, the plan was foiled due to the strict security measures around Salman Khan, making it difficult for the shooters to reach him. The revelation comes as a chilling reminder of the continuous threats the actor has faced in recent years, particularly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The Murder of Baba Siddique
Baba Siddique, a 66-year-old political figure, was tragically shot dead on October 12 outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra East, Mumbai. He succumbed to his injuries after being rushed to Lilavati Hospital with two gunshot wounds to his chest. This murder has been linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has also been targeting Salman Khan.
Connection Between the Assailants and the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang
All three shooters involved in Baba Siddique’s murder had ties to the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This gang has been in the news for its continued threats against Salman Khan, particularly after the actor’s alleged involvement in the killing of a blackbuck, a sacred animal in the Bishnoi community. The gang’s longstanding vendetta against Salman Khan has escalated over the years, culminating in a series of threats.
Past Attempts and Threats Against Salman Khan
Salman Khan has faced multiple threats over the years, many of them connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. On April 14 of this year, two bike-borne gunmen fired shots outside Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra late at night. The shooters, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, who were arrested in Gujarat, were also linked to the same gang.
Apart from the Bishnoi gang, Salman has also received other threats. In November, a man claiming to be Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother threatened the actor, demanding an apology for the killing of the blackbuck or a ₹5 crore payout. Earlier in October, a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur was arrested for demanding a ₹5 crore ransom from Salman Khan. The actor was also issued a death threat, asking him to pray ₹2 crore.
Enhanced Security for Salman Khan
In response to the escalating threats, Salman Khan has been provided with Y+ security, one of the highest levels of protection offered by the police. Additionally, security around his residence has been significantly strengthened. The authorities have installed AI-powered, high-resolution CCTV cameras with facial recognition technology to further bolster the actor’s safety. These measures reflect the seriousness with which the police are treating the ongoing threats against Salman Khan.
Conclusion
The disturbing news that Baba Siddique’s murder was linked to an assassination attempt on Salman Khan highlights the grave security challenges faced by the actor. While Salman Khan has managed to evade multiple attempts on his life, the continuing threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang serve as a stark reminder of the dangers surrounding high-profile celebrities in India. With enhanced security measures in place, it remains to be seen how the situation will evolve for the actor.
