Salman Khan has been dealing with the devastating loss of his dear friend, Baba Siddique. Amidst the pain, he has ramped up security as Baba Siddque's killers issue him a direct threat.
The assasination of NCP leader and former Mahrashtra minister, Baba Siddique has left the nation in a state of shock. Following the tragedy, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang came forth to claim responsibility for the cold-blooded killing. Not only that, but they also issued a direct threat to Salman Khan. Amidst the danger, the Bollywood actor has cancelled all his meetings and ramped up security outside his Galaxy apartment.
Baba Siddique was a near and dear friend of Salman Khan. In fact, he even played peacemaker between Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, ending their 5-year long feud. So, quite naturally, Salman has been devastated by Baba Siddique’s sudden demise.
A source close to Salman Khan revealed to India Today that the actor was devastated. They said that he was so heartbroken by the incident that he had been unable to sleep since returning home from Lilavati Hospital late the previous night.
Instead, Salman had been keeping up constant communication with Zeeshan Siddique, Baba Siddique’s son, and the rest of his family. The source told India Today:
“Bhai has been on the phone checking on the funeral arrangements and every other detail. He has cancelled all his personal meetings for the next few days as well.”
After the Lawrence Bishnoi gang issued a direct threat to Salman Khan, the security detail around his apartment has been increased. His family has also requested privacy at this time, even asking industry friends to refrain from visiting the actor.
The threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is especially scary because of an incident that took place on April 14, 2024. On that day, two men on bikes had started firing a gun outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence. However, the assailants, Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, had been arrested in Gujarat.
In the same conversation with India Today, the sources revealed that Salman Khan wasn’t the only member of his family to be affected by Baba Siddique’s death. Salman’s brothers, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, also had a long-standing friendship with the politician. The two were also frequently seen at his Iftaar parties.
Reportedly, Salman Khan was shooting Bigg Boss 18 when he received the news about Baba Siddique’s tragic demise. He wasted no time in halting the shoot and rushing to the hospital to meet the late politician’s grieving family. Later, his family was spotted arriving at the late politician’s house to offer their condolences.
In a video shared by a paparazzo, Salman’s sisters, Arpita Khan and Alvira Agnihotri, his rumoured girlfriend, Lulia Vantur, and Arbaaz’s wife, Sshura were seen making their way to Baba Siddique’s residence.
