Recent trends witnessed in Mumbai have now turned a dark corner for Bollywood king Khan, Salman Khan. Ever since the gruesome murder of Baba Siddiqui, who was a very close friend of Khan and a regular feature on the political scene, police have been providing Khan with tight security. Newspapers suggest that Salman has now decided not to attend many social meetings due to this strange occurrence.
The Murder of Baba Siddiqui
This year, Baba Siddiqui, a former minister of Maharashtra and NCP’s senior leader was recently murdered and many B-town stars and political personnel are mourning his loss. There have been reports that the Mumbai police have tightened security for Salman Khan especially because of the connection he had with Siddiqui before the murder.
The Bishnoi community people have earlier conflicted with Khan due to previous hunting cases of wildlife and reportedly threatened the safety of Salman. Credible sources suggest they ken there is “only one way” the actor can infuriate his survival hence the dark cloud that surrounds his public and private life.
Links to Lawrence Bishnoi
The Bishnoi case dates back to 1998 when Salman Khan was accused of hunting black deer while shooting for ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain.’ According to the Bishnoi sect, the blackbuck is considered to be sacred and due to the conviction involving the blackbuck poaching by Salman, there has been a long-standing grudge. Recent media coverage has also manifested that the antagonist involved in Siddiqui’s murder is Lawrence Bishnoi, who has already threatened Salman Khan.
Subsequently, the Bishnoi community has once again come out openly declaring that they hate Khan and that he deserves to be punished. The All India President of the Bishnoi Community, Devendra Budhia, said in a statement that the community’s stand has not changed regarding the actor’s wrongs in the past.
Reaction from the Film Industry
The recent gruesome murder of Baba Siddiqui has left the film industry in shock and different actors, and political leaders paid their condolences to the man who was killed by feral animals. What followed the tragedy was that Salman Khan according to the media left the reality show Bigg Boss to pay his tribute to his friend. Currently, the industry is busy defining the meaning and implications of Siddiqui’s murder not only to the industry but particularly to its members especially those that were related to the deceased.
Somi Ali’s Apology
However, Somi Ali, the former girlfriend of the Bollywood actor Salman Khan has come forward to tender an apology on his behalf as regards the problem with the Bishnoi community. While some people have accepted her statement, others are angry with Salman, and community leaders have demanded an apology from Salman by visiting their temple. They said, that while they understand the motivation behind Somi’s good deed is appreciated, it does not help with the current standing conflict. For the past several months, the Bishnoi community has said that they would decide on their further course of action only after Salman himself tendered an apology.
