“Jealous Salman Khan, helped by Shehnaz Gill killed Siddhart Shukla", claims WhatsApp messages
Shahrukh Khan, Taliban also blamed for actor's death; Here’s how people reacted
Mumbai: Popular actor and winner of the 13th season of the reality show Bigg Boss, Siddhart Shukla passed away on Thursday after suffering a massive heart attack. He passed away at Cooper hospital in Mumbai, aged 40.
Ever since his demise, Siddhart’s fans have been expressing their shock and grief across social media platforms over the actor’s sudden death. But much like the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, conspiracy theorists began floating several of their theories believing foul play in the actor’s death.
One of the messages that were being forwarded mainly on WhatsApp, claimed Bollywood actor and host of Bigg Boss killed Sidharth Shukla out of jealousy due to Sidhart’s growing popularity. It also claimed that Salman Khan took the help of Sidhart’s rumored girlfriend, Shehnaz Gill.
The message also dragged another Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan into the matter linking him with the Taliban and Taliban to Sidhart’s murder.
Below is a screenshot of the message that is going viral on social media platforms, and the reaction of Twitter users when a journalist shared the image on her Twitter handle.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
