Baba Siddique shot dead: Has Salman Khan been asked not to accept visitors at home? Here's what we know

In a shocking incident, politician Baba Siddique was shot dead on October 12, reportedly by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. While police investigation is currently underway, reports say that the veteran leader was murdered due to his proximity to Bollywood stars, especially Salman Khan, who is also under the scanner of Lawrence Bishnoi.

In the wake of this heartbreaking incident, Salman Khan's security has been beefed up, and it was reported that he has been advised not to entertain any visitors for the next few weeks. However, a close family friend of the actor told ETimes that Salman khan's doors have always been open for friends and colleagues of the film industry. The actor has not stopped anyone from visiting his house, but the family is a bit more cautious. The friend also added that despite the threat, Salman has made sure to stand by Baba Siddique's family.

On the other hand, Salim khan has also been asked to exercise caution, as he goes for his morning walk in Bandra everyday. The actor's Panvel farmhouse has also seen a security upgrade, though Salman spends more time in Mumbai now. This was confirmed by sources in Navi Mumbai police.

On the other hand, Baba Siddique was not only famous for his political work but for his unbreakable bonds of friendship.

Salman Khan and Baba Siddique had been close friends for over two decades. Bollywood’s ‘Sultan’ always made a point to grace Siddique’s annual Iftar parties. They stood by one another in every thick and thin. Thus, it wasn’t easy for Salman Khan to see and pay his respects to the mortal remains of his close friend.

Despite the threats made directly to Salman Khan by the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the actor had arrived at Siddique's residence to stand in solidarity with the grieving family. Though reportedly he was constantly on call with Zeeshan (Baba Siddique’s son), overlooking funeral arrangements, he couldn’t stay at his house during the difficult times. He arrived at the Siddique's residence in his black car with tight security. A cop vehicle closely followed Salman’s car. When the actor was leaving the house, making his way through the large crowd, he was seen teary-eyed.

While the actor didn’t utter a word, his eyes spoke for the sadness and distress.

Following the heartbreaking news and the direct threats made by Lawrence Bishnoi gang to Salman Khan, the actor has enhanced his security. According to the India Today report, a close source confirmed that the actor and his family have canceled all personal meetings amid the ongoing situation. Even Salman’s friends have been refrained from meeting him.
