More On The Case

This news was after the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique allegedly by the members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Just a few days ago, the Mumbai traffic police control room received a WhatsApp message from an accused gang member of Lawrence Bishnoi requesting Rs. 5 crore from Salman to end his rivalry with the infamous mobster. It was further alleged that if the superstar does not comply with the demand, he will suffer the same fate as his close buddy Baba Siddique, who was gunned down by the same group.

After the investigation began, the same unknown sender sent a follow-up message apologizing for the previous text. The person stated that the SMS was sent to the actor by accident and had no serious intent to damage him. However, the police department acted quickly, discovering the sender in Jharkhand.

As a result, a special team was dispatched to apprehend the offender. According to PTI, this resulted in the arrest of a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur named Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin.
