Salman Khan told to avoid visitors after murder of friend Baba Siddique
way2barak, Oct 14: Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been advised to refrain from receiving visitors at his home following the murder of his friend and veteran politician Baba Siddique. The incident, which took place on October 12, is believed to have been carried out by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The police are actively investigating the case, with early reports suggesting that Siddique’s connections to Bollywood personalities, particularly Salman Khan, may have played a role in the crime.
In response to the threat from the Bishnoi gang, security around Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra in Mumbai has been strengthened. The actor, who has long been under threat from the gang, was advised to avoid hosting visitors over the coming days as a precautionary measure. While Salman Khan has not formally restricted people from visiting him, family sources have revealed that the actor’s household is exercising heightened caution due to the gravity of the threats.
The Bishnoi gang’s hostility toward Salman Khan traces back to the actor’s involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The blackbuck is a sacred animal for the Bishnoi community, and the gang’s leader, Lawrence Bishnoi, has reportedly vowed revenge on the actor for the incident. The threats to Khan resurfaced earlier this year when gunfire was reported outside his home, leading authorities to further intensify security around him.
The murder of Siddique, a three-time MLA and former Maharashtra minister, has only compounded the risks for Khan. Siddique had been a close associate of Khan for over two decades, and their friendship was well-known in both political and Bollywood circles. Khan had regularly attended Siddique’s annual Iftar parties, and their bond extended beyond professional associations.
