Security Increased At Salman Khan's Bandra Home

On Monday, 14 October 2024, Security increased at actor Salman Khan's house after politician Baba Siddique was shot dead by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Nearly a dozen police officers have been deployed outside the Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, where Mr. Khan and his parents live.

Mr. Siddique was known for his lavish iftar parties. He was  Mr. Khan's close friend. The actor even visited his house as well as the hospital after the NCP leader was shot.

Salman Khan has been on the Bishnoi gang's "target" list since the 1998 Blackbuck case and has received multiple threats. Warning shots were also fired outside his house in April.

Taking responsibility for Mr. Siddique's murder, the Bishnoi gang issued a threat to anyone who helped the actor.

A post on Facebook made by Shubuu Lonkar believed to be Bishnoi gang associate Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar, claimed that the politician was killed because he was linked to India's most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, and was close to Salman Khan.

The post also referred to the death of Anuj Thapan, an arrested suspect in the firing outside Salman Khan's house. Thapan allegedly died by suicide in the crime branch police lock-up a few months ago.

"We do not have any enmity with anyone but whoever helps Salman Khan and the Dawood gang, keep your accounts in order ('hisab-kitaab kar lena')," read the post read in Hindi.
