Threats Received at Zeeshan Siddique’s Office On Friday evening, Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra reported receiving threatening messages targeting Bollywood star Salman Khan and MLA Zeeshan Siddique. The threats demanded a ransom, warning of dire consequences if it was not paid. Following this, a staff member at Siddique’s office lodged a complaint with the police, leading to an FIR.
21-Year-Old Man from Noida Arrested Mumbai Police quickly identified and detained a 21-year-old suspect, Mohammed Tayyab, from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly sending the messages. Tayyab has since been handed over to Nirmal Nagar Police in Mumbai, where he is undergoing questioning to determine his motive.
Past Threat Cases Involving Salman Khan Mumbai Police previously arrested a 24-year-old vegetable seller, Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin, from Jamshedpur for issuing threats to the Mumbai Traffic Police’s WhatsApp helpline. The message demanded ₹5 crore from Salman Khan, prompting a swift investigation. Authorities traced the number to Jharkhand, with teams dispatched to apprehend the sender. Interestingly, an “apology” message followed from the same number.
Salman Khan has previously received threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which allegedly opened fire outside his Bandra home earlier this year. A subsequent plot to harm the actor led to increased security measures.
Baba Siddiqui’s Murder Case Update In a tragic incident, former NCP leader and Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui was shot dead by three assailants near his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office on October 12.

Lawrence Bishnoi Gang’s Involvement Police investigations revealed that the shooters involved in Baba Siddiqui’s murder allegedly maintained contact with Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, through Snapchat before the crime occurred. The incident highlights ongoing gang-related violence and the need for heightened security for high-profile individuals.
