Salman Khan, we did not want this war but you made our brother lose his life. Today the pool of decency of Baba Siddique is closed or at one time he was under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) with Dawood. The reason for his death was his links to Dawood and Anuj Thapan in Bollywood, politics, and property dealings.
We have no personal enmity with anyone. However, anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang should be prepared. If anyone gets any of our brothers killed, we will respond. We never strike first. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat, salute to the martyrs.
These were the posts from the well-known Lawrence Bishnoi Gang, directed towards Salman Khan after Baba Siddique's murder. The "brother" in question was Anuj Thapan, who committed suicide in the washroom of the Police Crime Branch Lockup, after he was arrested in Punjab for opening fire outside Salman Khan's apartment. But where did all the enmity even start?
Lets go back to 1998. Salman Khan is on trial for hunting two black bucks during the shooting of the movie- "Hum Saath Saath Hain". The Bishnoi community, which venerates the Blackbuck as sacred is stunned and considers Salman's deeds as a major offence against their community. Former MP Jaswant Singh Bishnoi even stated the importance of the blackbuck in their community- "Deer is our identity, and it is necessary for them to survive". This led to Bishnoi's desire for revenge, and has prompted repeated threats and murders of "anyone who helps Salman Khan" as warning shots. This led to the Mumbai Police registering an FIR against Bishnoi after Salman Khan's office received an e-mail threatening him.
Coming back to the present, Siddique, NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister, was murdered by three persons at Kher Nagar in Mumbai’s Bandra area just outside his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique’s office on Saturday night. He was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he was later declared dead. Shubham Lonkar and Pravin Lonkar were the two co-conspirators arrested in morning of October 14th. A crime branch official on Sunday said Pravin and Shubham “enlisted” two alleged shooters - UP resident Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap and Shivkumar Gautam. While Gautam is on the run, police have arrested Kashyap and another alleged shooter, identified as Gurmail Baljit Singh, a native of Haryana.
Siddique was rather famous in the Bollywood community, notably for his Grand Iftar parties. From there, Siddique became a close associate of Khan for over two decades, and their friendship was well-known in both political and Bollywood circles. The actor had regularly attended Siddique's parties, and their bond extended beyond professional associations. Shah Rukh and Salman even ended their half-a-decade long feud at one of Siddique's parties. Knowing this, the Bishnoi Gang orchestrated the murder of Baba Siddique, as again, a warning shot to Salman Khan.
Salman Khan is now advised by the Police officials to reduce contact and stay indoors as much as possible. He has also been asked not to accept visitors at home to further reduce the risk of an attack. His security has been tightened and rather beefed up, in hopes of minimalising any possible threat.
I guess it's just waiting and watching now, bollywood is meant for drama anyways.
