Salman Khan was recently seen arriving at the residence of his close friend, Baba Siddique, following the tragic death of the NCP leader in Mumbai. Baba Siddique was fatally shot in an incident late last night and succumbed to his injuries at Lilavati Hospital. Upon hearing the heartbreaking news, Salman immediately rushed to the hospital to offer support to Siddique's grieving family.
Earlier today, a video shared by paparazzo accounts captured Salman Khan arriving at Siddique’s residence in a black Range Rover, under tight security. The actor’s car entered the premises as police officers and security personnel guarded the area. The Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack, prompting heightened security measures around Salman’s home at Galaxy Apartments.
The Khan family was also seen paying their respects earlier in the day. Salman’s rumoured girlfriend, Iulia Vantur, was spotted alongside his siblings Sohail Khan, Arpita Khan Sharma, Alvira Agnihotri and Sshura Khan as they arrived at Baba Siddique’s residence. They were joined by BJP leader Shaina NC, all dressed in white, a symbol of mourning and respect in traditional Indian customs.

Salman Khan and Baba Siddique shared a long-standing friendship, with the actor often attending Siddique’s famous Iftar parties. Reports indicate that Salman, devastated by his friend’s sudden passing, has been actively involved in assisting with funeral arrangements and has remained in close contact with Siddique’s family.
Following Siddique’s death, Salman Khan cancelled all of his professional engagements, including filming for Bigg Boss 18 and has requested privacy in the coming days. Friends from the industry have been asked not to visit him during this difficult time. The Maharashtra Chief Minister has announced that Baba Siddique will be accorded state honours at his cremation. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police have registered a case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Arms Act, and the Maharashtra Police Act.
