Earlier this week, a 20-year-old man was arrested from Uttar Pradesh’s Noida over death threats to the actor and Zeeshan Siddiqui, MLA and son of NCP (Ajit Pawar) leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead on October 12. Mumbai Police said it has taken Gufran Khan into custody and shifted him on a transit remand. The accused has been identified as Mohammed Tayyab, also known as Gurfan Khan, and was arrested from Noida’s Sector 39.
Baba Siddique’s death
Zeeshan’s father Baba Siddique, who was a three-time MLA, former state minister in Maharashtra and a close friend of Salman Khan, was shot dead outside his son’s office. Later, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for his death. The threats to Zeeshan came weeks after his father’s murder.
In April this year, two men arrived on a motorcycle and fired four gunshots outside Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai, Galaxy Apartments. Following the incident, the assailants quickly fled the scene.
