NCP(SP) leader Zeeshan Siddique has questioned the safety of residents in Mumbai following the shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, while claiming that he received four threats in the past two months.
“If I, as an MLA, receive constant threats and my security is not increased, then how can the general public possibly feel safe? three others, including his driver and an autorickshaw driver, sustained injuries in the incident While Shroff escaped unhurt. He sought accountability from the Maharashtra government, claiming the incident was an “intelligence failure. He further alleged that despite him receiving threats, his security had not been increased. “Whether it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang or any other—including Anmol Bishnoi—we have made every possible effort.
Zeeshan, whose father Baba Siddique lost his life in a shooting incident in 2024, asked.
The NCP(SP) leader said it was “deeply unfortunate that such incidents are happening to politicians and actors alike. My family and I had urged the US government to facilitate the return of Anmol Bishnoi to India,” Zeeshan said. He said that the Mumbai Police did not “have the opportunity” to interrogate Anmol despite this. However, cops had then said that a central government order restricting Lawrence Bishnoi’s removal from Tihar Jail prevented his physical custody.
An MCOCA had, earlier this year, directed the Mumbai Police to secure the custody of Anmol Bishnoi. His remarks come after three motorcycle-borne men opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s vehicle on Sunday evening.
Zeeshan also demanded further investigation into the murder of his father, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, and sought interrogation of Anmol and Lawrence Bishnoi in the case.
