Mumbai: The murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique has sent shockwaves through Bollywood, with authorities investigating the possible involvement of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Known for its violent history, the gang had previously issued threats to several high-profile individuals, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

Siddique, who had close ties with Bollywood stars such as Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Sanjay Dutt, was allegedly murdered by members of the Bishnoi gang. Investigations are ongoing, with the gang reportedly claiming responsibility for the assassination.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has targeted several other celebrities in the past. Salman Khan, who was threatened in connection to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, remains a prime target. Earlier this year, gunshots were fired outside his residence in Bandra, though no injuries were reported.

Comedian Munawar Faruqui, known for winning Bigg Boss 17, is also on the hit list. Intelligence agencies recently foiled an alleged attempt on his life during an event in Delhi.

Other notable names include Shaganpreet Singh, manager of slain singer Sidhu Moosewala, and Zeeshan Siddiqui, son of Baba Siddique, both of whom have been threatened by the gang.
