After Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique on October 12, 2024, conspiracies about the culprits behind his brutal killing were spread everywhere with speculations and evidence about the cause of death and the real murderers behind it.
Now, a Senior Journalist Swati Chaturvedi claims that she was informed by sources from Mumbai Police suggesting that Baba Siddique was actually killed by a business rival over a land deal and Lawrence Bishnoi is being framed as a red herring.
She also slammed Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde for being quiet in this matter and also tagged the opposition leaders.
And, @MumbaiPolice sources tell me that Baba Siddiqui was murdered by a business rival over a land deal. Lawrence Bishnoi sequestered in a Gujarat jail is a red herring. Intriguingly @CMOMaharashtra is quiet & so is the opp why @RahulGandhi @priyankac19

The murder investigation has been ongoing with the Mumbai Police working to extradite Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence’s brother from the US.

Anmol is allegedly involved in the murder and a recent death threat against Salman Khan. The police have found evidence of communication between Anmol and the suspected shooters through Snapchat, as per the reports.
However, some have already raised questions about the involvement of Lawrence Bishnoi in Baba Siddique’s murder and have previously asked for a transparent probe on account of this matter.
They suggest that Bishnoi might not be responsible for the crime and that the real culprits are trying to divert attention.
The Bishnoi gang has been linked to the murder of Baba Siddique who was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12 by three assailants.
A member of the gang, Shubham Lonkar claimed responsibility for the killing citing Siddique’s close ties to actor Salman Khan. Then Police arrested Lawrence Bishnoi and imprisoned him in Sabarmati Central Jail, Gujarat.
This isn’t the first time the Bishnoi gang has targeted Salman Khan. Lawrence Bishnoi who is the gang’s leader has repeatedly threatened Khan since 2018 over his alleged involvement in the 1998 Blackbuck hunting case in Rajasthan.
The Blackbuck is revered by the Bishnoi community which has a significant presence in parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
