In the latest development, Mumbai Police have arrested a 20-year-old man from Noida in connection with a threat call case to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and late NCP leader Baba Siddique’s son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique.
According to India Today, the accused identified as Mohammad Tayyab alias Gurfan Khan was detained from Noida's Sector 39 area on Tuesday. It has further been revealed that a threatening call was received at NCP Leader Baba Siddique’s son, Zeeshan Siddique's public relations office in Bandra East on Friday, demanding ransom and making threats against both Siddique and Salman Khan.
After the call, an employee from Siddique’s office filed a complaint, following which authorities registered a case at the Nirmal Nagar police station in Mumbai. According to the Police sources, Mohammad Tayyab who is a Delhi resident was taken into custody by the police and a transit remand was obtained to move him to Mumbai for further investigation.
This comes weeks after the NCP Leader Baba Siddique was allegedly shot dead by the members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Just a few days back, the Mumbai traffic police control room received a message on WhatsApp from an alleged gang member of Lawrence Bishnoi demanding Rs. 5 crore from Salman to end his feud with the dreaded gangster. It was further claimed that if the superstar doesn't comply with the demand, he will meet the same fate as his close friend Baba Siddique, who was shot dead by the same gang.
After the investigation was launched, the same unknown sender sent a follow-up message apologizing for the previous text. The person clarified that the text was sent to the actor by mistake and didn't mean any real harm to him. However, the police department took swift action, locating the sender in Jharkhand.
Consequently, a special team was sent to arrest the culprit. This led to the arrest of a vegetable seller as per PTI who was identified as Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin from Jamshedpur.
Salman has persistently been receiving death threats from the infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. As a part of security measures, the Sikandar actor’s security has been beefed up while he continues to fulfill his professional commitments.
