Mumbai Police Nabs 20-Year-Old from Noida in Salman Khan Death Threat Controversy

In the most recent update, Mumbai Police have taken into custody a 20-year-old individual from Noida regarding a threat call situation related to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and the son of the late NCP leader Baba Siddique, MLA Zeeshan Siddique.

As per the report from India Today, the individual accused, known as Mohammad Tayyab, also called Gurfan Khan, was apprehended from Sector 39 in Noida on Tuesday. Additional information discloses that a threatening call was made to Zeeshan Siddique's public relations office in Bandra East on Friday, demanding ransom and issuing threats towards both Siddique and Salman Khan.

Salman Khan has been facing continuous threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi regarding the blackbuck case. Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait recently suggested that Khan should apologize by visiting a temple, labeling the gangster as a 'badmaash aadmi'.

Salman Khan has been under tight security following death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang, stemming from a prolonged feud tied to the unresolved 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Despite the lack of closure, Bishnoi persists in threatening the actor's life. The turmoil commenced when Salman was embroiled in the blackbuck killing during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, sparking a lengthy legal battle spanning over 26 years, marked by arrests, bail releases, and court decisions. In light of this legal saga, Bishnoi and his associates have openly menaced him.

Earlier this year, gunshots were fired outside Salman's Mumbai residence, escalating tensions after Siddique's murder. Recently, on October 27, 2024, members of the Bishnoi community burned effigies of Salman and his father, Salim Khan, in protest, fueled by what they perceived as misleading statements regarding the blackbuck case.
