Mumbai Police have arrested a 20-year-old youth from Noida for allegedly making threat calls to Salman Khan and Baba Siddiqui’s son, Zeeshan Siddiqui. The caller has been identified as Mohammad Tayyab alias Gurfan. According to reports, Zeeshan and Salman received the threat calls on October 25, following which a case was registered based on a complaint by Siddiqui’s office. The accused made a demand of a ransom from the Bollywood star and NCP MLA.
The accused was arrested from Noida Sector 39 on Tuesday morning. The Mumbai Police would be bringing the youth to the city on a transit remand for further investigation.
On October 12, Baba Siddiqui, a close friend of Salman Khan and the former minister of Maharashtra, was shot dead allegedly by the members of Lawrence Bishnoi gang. 15 people have been arrested in connection with the murder so far.
Earlier, Mumbai Police arrested a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand for sending a threat letter to Salman Khan in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi and demanding a ransom of Rs 5 crore.
The Bollywood star has been receiving multiple death threats from the Bishnoi gang. In April, shots were fired outside his Bandra residence after which the authorities increased his security. However, Salman continues to fulfill his professional commitments despite the continuous threats.
