Baba Siddique's killers planned to target Salman Khan before his murder, reveals investigation
Mumbai: The shooters responsible for the murder of Baba Siddique, a prominent NCP leader, had originally planned to kill Bollywood actor Salman Khan before carrying out the attack on Siddique, sources informed India Today TV.
Siddique, 66, was shot dead on October 12 outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra East, Mumbai. The assailants fired multiple shots, hitting Siddique twice in the chest. Despite being rushed to Lilavati Hospital, he was declared dead on arrival.
During interrogation, the accused confessed that Salman Khan was initially their primary target, but they were unable to execute the plan due to the actor’s heightened security. The shooters had intended to carry out the attack after previously targeting Khan.
In a related incident, on April 14, two assailants opened fire outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence. Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, the shooters involved, were later apprehended in Gujarat, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility for the attack.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been threatening Salman Khan more and more in recent months, and other people have also threatened the star in the gangster's name. Interestingly, a caller posing as Bishnoi's brother threatened to demand that Salman attend a temple and offer an apology for killing a blackbuck, failing which he would be held hostage for ₹5 lakh.
In addition, a Jamshedpur vegetable vendor was detained this month after requesting a ₹5 crore ransom from the actor. A few days later, Salman was threatened once more and demanded ₹2 crore.
Given the rising threats, Salman Khan has been provided with Y+ security, and a strong police presence has been deployed around his home. Additionally, the Mumbai Police have installed state-of-the-art AI-driven CCTV cameras equipped with facial recognition technology to enhance his safety.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
