Baba Siddique's assassination has shaken the entire nation. The Bollywood industry was shocked as many celebrities visited the family of the late Maharashtra Minister in the hospital. Salman Khan, who cancelled his Bigg Boss 18 shoot to meet the family of Siddique, has been also under tight security. Several reports suggest that the infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi (who is a prime accused in Sidhu Moosewala’s murder and attacks on Salman Khan) has an alleged link to Baba Siddique’s murder as well. Now, Salman and his family’s security turned out to be a major concern. After the superstar visited the hospital, his security has been beefed up. 

A Police source said, “Appropriate measures are being taken.” When Salman was leaving the hospital, he looked distressed about the incident. Reportedly, security around his house has also been beefed up. 

Earlier in June this year, Salman told police  “So, I believe that Lawrence Bishnoi, with the help of his gang members, carried out the firing incident when my family members were sleeping and (they were) planning to kill me and my family members.” 

As quoted by TOI, Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan earlier added, “The recent incident of firing by two unidentified person in a motorcycle at Galaxy apartment the residence of the Salim Khan family is very disturbing and unnerving. Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place. Unfortunately, some people claiming to be close to our family and pretending to be the spokesperson have been making loose statements to the media saying it's all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected which is not true and these views should not be taken seriously.” 

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced a state funeral today at 8:30 pm.
