Mumbai Police Investigates Murder Tied to Salman Khan

Salim Khan, father of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, has dismissed any connection between Salman's threats and the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, despite escalating death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang's targeting of Siddique is believed to stem from his close ties with Salman, as officials suggest the murder serves as a warning to those supporting the actor. Following Siddique's assassination, security around Salman has intensified, and a threatening message demanding Rs 5 crore was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police, further alarming the Khan family. The Crime Branch is investigating the Bishnoi gang's operations, linking Siddique's murder to other violent incidents, including a shooting in Canada involving a singer associated with Salman. Mumbai police acknowledge an intelligence failure in handling the situation and are now focused on gathering information about individuals close to Salman and tracking smuggling routes for firearms. Additionally, an accused involved in a plot to kill Salman Khan has been apprehended in Haryana, highlighting ongoing threats to the star.
