Over a month after the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai, the crime branch has revealed that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was the original target and the topmost name on the hitlist. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi had claimed responsibility for the attack that killed Siddique.
According to reports, officials of the crime branch stated that the shooters were originally instructed to kill Salman. However, their plan was foiled due to the actor’s tight security detail, and thus, they shifted their focus to Siddique.
Multiple rounds were shot at Baba Siddique in Mumbai on October 12 outside his son Zeeshan’s office in Bandra. Reportedly, Zeeshan too was on the hitlist, but he narrowly escaped as he left the venue only minutes before the planned attack.
