In light of the recent murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan, the Mumbai government has provided the Bollywood superstar with Y-plus security. Baba Siddique was killed in Mumbai on October 12, allegedly by three individuals linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The heightened security comes as a precautionary measure, with fears of threats against Salman Khan.
Speaking to Instant Bollywood about the situation, Vindu Dara Singh, who is also a close friend of Salman, commented on the unsettling developments in the film industry, “You have to understand. A different type of law is going on. This is very funny because there is a court and everything. No one knows the truth, and nothing has been proved yet. So it is really shocking and unbelievable what is happening. I hope and pray that better sense prevails and Salman ko kuch na ho (nothing happens to Salman).”
In a disturbing revelation, it has been learnt that a contract worth Rs 25 lakh was made to assassinate Salman Khan near his Panvel farmhouse. The plot, believed to have been orchestrated by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was uncovered in the chargesheet filed by Navi Mumbai police. The conspiracy, spanning from August 2023 to April 2024, included plans to acquire sophisticated weapons like AK-47s, M16s, and Zigana pistols, the latter of which was used in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

The gang’s decision to procure high-powered weapons stemmed from Salman Khan’s high-security detail and use of a bulletproof vehicle. One of the conspirators, Sukha, arrested in Haryana earlier this week, had been in contact with an arms dealer and assigned Ajay Kashyap to target the actor.
Furthermore, several individuals were reportedly tracking Salman Khan’s movements around the city. The gang had also plotted an escape route to Kanyakumari and then planned to flee to Sri Lanka after the assassination attempt.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, and Salman Khan’s security has been tightened amid these chilling developments.
