Mumbai: The Mumbai Traffic Police have reported receiving a death threat aimed at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The threat, communicated via a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, demands that Adityanath resign from his position within 10 days or face dire consequences. The message ominously warns that he will be “killed like Baba Siddique,” referencing the recent murder of the former minister and NCP (Ajit Pawar) leader, who was shot dead in Bandra last month.
A WhatsApp helpline number of the Mumbai Traffic Police control room received a message from an unknown number last evening. The message said that if Yogi Adiyanath did not resign in 10 days, he would be “killed like Baba Siddique”. Mumbai Police is investigating the matter and trying to track down the sender of the message.
Baba Siddique’s assassination on October 12, when he was shot by three assailants while celebrating Dussehra outside his son’s office, has left the region on edge. The murdered politician was known to be close to Salman Khan, who has in the past received death threats from the Bishnoi gang, apparently due to his involvement in the blackbuck hunting case in Rajasthan during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang was also found to be behind the firing outside Salman Khan’s home in April. The actor’s security has been beefed up after the firing outside and death threats.
