Police sources further reveal that Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra received messages on Friday evening, threatening Salman Khan and the MLA of death unless they paid a ransom.

Earlier Salman Khan received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Suspected members of the gang had opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April. The actor’s security has been beefed up following the string of threats.
Former MLA and NCP (Ajit Pawar) faction leader Baba Siddique, known to be close to Salman Khan, was shot dead near his son Zeeshan’s office in Mumbai. The threat to Zeeshan came weeks after his father’s murder.
