The Bollywood fraternity is reeling in shock after the brutal killing of India's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, who had close ties with several film stars, including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Sanjay Dutt.

Authorities are investigating the involvement of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which had previously killed Indian rapper Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022.

India's notorious gangster Bishnoi has been threatening Salman Khan for several years after the latter killed a black deer in 1998, which is considered sacred in Bishnoi tradition.
