Remix of 90s song and remake of movie are popular these days in Bollywood Going back to old formula when there is no new idea But Mumbai also wants to slip back into the 90s. Roads are the same, traffic is the same, underworld gang war was missing same 90s filth that was removed from Mumbai with a lot of effort, seems to be knocking on the city again. Last Saturday night, the way the former minister, Muslim leader, Bollywood networker, Baba Siddique was killed, was similar to the style of execution of the 90s.
This assassination was done without any fear of police or without any fear of the court Crime branch has arrested some pawns who pressed the trigger. But the question arises that who made the plan to kill a prominent leader? And why?
Is the connection between Lawrence Bishnoi and Salman Khan real? Is Bishnoi running an international syndicate from jail? How and why?
Will Bishnoi get parole after Baba Ram Rahim? Who will take responsibility of this security breach? Godi media is not showing much interest in this case.
Maybe because it is a government of paupau and elections are coming up. Otherwise, the Home Minister's resignation would have been a demand, and president rule by mass protest In today's episode of Deshbhakt, we will try to find out what could be the reason for such a high-profile assassination in Mumbai after 30 years. And why is this a very worrying topic?
Siddique leaves his office at around 9 pm and bursting crackers at Ram Mandir near son's office A procession for Maa Durga was also there Suddenly, three young men come and open the firing. Faces covered with a handkerchief. The sound of gun is overpowered by the firecrackers Siddique had police protection but the guards were sprayed with pepper spray.
He was taken to Lilavati Hospital but unable to be saved due to excessive bleeding. He was confirmed dead at 11. 30 pm.
On Sunday, his last rites were performed in Mumbai with full state honour. Mumbai police tried to show that they were trying to crack the case soon Two shooters, Karnail Singh from Haryana and Dharamraj Kashyap from Uttar Pradesh arrested Third, Shiv Kumar is also from UP, Police is after him as we are recording this episode And Mumbai police has named the fourth accused as Mohammad Zeeshan Akhtar. Pravin Lonkar from Pune was arrested who hired them, How much did the shooters get?
Rs. 50,000 per shooter. And for the last one month, they were tracking Siddique's movements.
But who was behind all this? Who was behind the conspiracy, the funding? Here, we have the entry of the infamous gangster, Lawrence Bishnoi who has been in jail for the last 10 years.
But under the Digital India, he runs his international crime syndicate in a high security prison. He can use voice over internet protocol or VoIP technology to call anyone And it seems that the government is helpless in stopping him Even Mumbai police is not being given custody of Bishnoi By whom? By the order of the Union Home Ministry.
Because Bishnoi is a high-risk prisoner, Mumbai police cannot bring him to Maharashtra for interrogation. 80-year-old father Stan Swamy did not get a sipper. He died begging for basic facilities.
And a gangster like Bishnoi is like Mogambo inside the jail Lawrence Bishnoi has a fakiri. . .
But is Lawrence Bishnoi angle real? Or is he just a convenient distraction from truth? A post went viral after Baba Siddique's death Mumbai Police is saying that this is Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar's account He is a well-known member of Bishnoi gang Mumbai police has arrested him before But why would Lawrence Bishnoi take the responsibility?
What is the need? The reason is part revenge and part warning Revenge for Anuj Thapan who did shooting in front of Salman Khan's house and then allegedly committed suicide in police custody Warning to those who call themselves Salman Khan's friend, and a threat to Salman Khan They say they did not want this war, but you made our brother lose life, anyone who helps Salman Khan, check your account it was also highlighted that people who praise Baba Siddique, forget that his past is not that clear His connections were with Dawood Ibrahim. He is also known for financial fraud.
But whatever the case, or allegation fact is that after three decades, we have seen such high profile gang war style killing in the same way. In 90s, BJP MLAs Ramdas Nayak and Premkumar Sharma were killed Shiv Sena legislators also were brutally killed. So, are these gangsters trying to take over Mumbai underworld?
This is not a one-off. This is part of a plan? To create a fear by killing high-profile targets is the first step to develop a gang war and an underworld.
After which, extortion becomes easy We will understand Bishnoi gang but why Baba Siddique was targeted? There must be a logic behind this. And it is important to understand the angle in this high profile murder.
Baba Siddique's links are associated with Bollywood for many years. Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan. .
. . his annual Iftar party is considered an important day in Mumbai's social calendar In such parties, politics, business, entertainment, deal making, alliances, everything happens In one such party, Siddique ended the 5 year long Cold War between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan Along with Bollywood, he was also active in politics.
He was elected MLA three times. He was the Maharashtra Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies. Sunil Dutt, Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty Khan.
. . Baba Siddique was considered close to everyone.
But was he killed because of relationship with Salman? Some people want to believe this. They say, close the case.
Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed it But is it possible? If this story is true, that Bishnoi killed Siddique because he was close to Salman Khan then we have got the next 1000 crore blockbuster movie script of Bollywood Think about a small kid, Lawrence, he was 5-8 years old at that time, when a superstar comes to his village and kills a black buck. That kid decides to take revenge for the Bishnoi community.
And then that kid grows up, becomes a lawyer, then he becomes a gangster, and then after 25 years, he is ready to take revenge, announces to media to kill Salman in his life He is in jail but he uses more than 700 gang members to kill his super star rivals. And there is a finale between Lawrence and Salman. The name of the movie could be Black Buck's Revenge.
I am telling you this because some people are ready to believe that this is the reason But there can be another, less glamorous angle behind this killing. The area of influence of Siddique is Bandra West This is a prime real estate zone. Siddique had very close relations with the builders.
Builders used to come to Baba Siddique to get their approvals passed. Baba used to help them in all the approvals, disputes, and permits. But as is often the case, such issues lead to disagreements.
The allegation is that Baba Siddique played role in dubious deals Used builder lobby to reclaim political power ED seized 500 crore assets of Baba Siddique in 2018 Allegation was that as chairman of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority or MHADA from 2000 to 2004, Siddique benefited the pyramid developers in the case of slum rehabilitation project. Overall, it was a scam of more than 2000 crores. Now, it is also being revealed that there were problems in the new slum rehabilitation authority or SRA redevelopment project.
The death of Siddique has some connection to this, especially when Siddique's son Zeeshan was also talking about this. Mumbai police also said that the shooters were given instructions to kill Baba Siddique and Zeeshan This angle is more practical than Lawrence's revenge formula. killing happened for money, business and dealing.
Lawrence Bishnoi has given it anti Salman, anti Dawood, anti Bollywood, pro India motive Because Dawood and Chota Rajan Gang left, Bishnoi wants to take over the space of Mumbai's underworld. Even if it is a jail. And this space, you should not only have with guns, you should have some ideology, a story, and Bishnoi is using that story.
It is about 1998, Rajasthan. During shooting of Hum saath saath hain, it is alleged that Salman Khan hunted two black bucks He was sentenced to 5 years in jail but later he was given bail. Now, black bucks are considered sacred for the Bishnoi community and they consider them as reincarnation of their spiritual leader, Guru Jambheshwar Black bucks are considered as a part of their identity.
Now, using this and using the emotions of the Bishnoi community, Lawrence Bishnoi has created a story and opened a front against Salman Khan. He wants to punish Salman's 1998 crime. And if he wants to do it, it's good.
If he does it legally. But the story here is the opposite. Lawrence Bishnoi himself is not Lawrence of Arabia Police believe that underworld gangs led by Dawood Ibrahim, Chota Rajan, Ravi Pujari whose end took 15 years Lawrence Bishnoi wants to replace them.
Bishnoi gang operates in North India. But this attempt can be clearly to establish its roots in Mumbai Lawrence and Goldy Brar started their career in Punjab University First, politics, then full-time criminal activities. There are two dozen cases on Bishnoi- murder, extortion etc.
It is said that more than 700 shooters are controlled by Bishnoi from jail It is a shame that Bishnoi's power has been increasing for almost 10 years First he was in Bharatpur jail, then in Tihar jail under MCOCA charges Now in Sabamati jail under cross-border drug smuggling, resting in jail and running an international network of your sharpshooters. For the society of Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi has said that friendship with Salman will prove costly firing at Gippy Grewal's house because he considered Salman as his brother. In September, firing at AP Dhillon's house in Vancouver because Salman Khan was in his video.
Even after the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, Salman and his family were threatened with death. So, clearly, a story is being made here. But I have not made this episode only about Baba Siddique's shocking murder or Salman is in danger.
Those who know Mumbai, can see a pattern The pattern of organized crime. In 1982, the Great Bombay Textile Strike happened ed by infamous Union leader Dutta Samant. Mills were shut down permanently.
People were unemployed permanently. And underworld criminals were born from there. Because there was nothing else to do.
In the 1990s, the rise of the underworld was at its peak. Citizens, politicians, law enforcement, everyone was afraid of Mumbai's underworld. After the Mumbai serial blast of 1993, the government came into action.
A serious crackdown was organized against the Dawood gang and other gangsters Now, an important note to note with that, it was the era of liberalization. New jobs, new opportunities, new industries were created So, the shooters who were available at a cheap rate, they were scarce Interestingly, film financing was also made legal. So, the influence of the underworld became a little less But, with the open murder of Siddique, a warning signal is sent to the government that another underworld can be created which can get big politicians killed for just 50,000 rupees.
NIA says that Lawrence Bishnoi's gang is spreading like D-company. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Rajasthan, Jharkhand . .
. . unemployed youth is ready You are recruiting them on social media.
You are showing them dreams of sending them to Canada. They will join the gang. And the government will have to answer that if Lawrence has been in jail for so many years, then why is he being given permission to communicate with the outside world?
Who is giving permission? It is not impossible to stop him. Is the government giving special privileges to Bishnoi?
Is some kind of project being run? There are many uncomfortable questions. We don't have a clear answer.
But if you flip the history of crime, you will find one thing clear. Whenever the government has given shelter to a criminal, it has tried to use him for its own purpose Later, the government has found this deal to be 120% costly The government has to decide whether to make the maximum city Mumbai open for business or Mumbai Gang War city, where anyone can be killed for only Rs. 50,000.
And if you don't understand this, then keep watching how Lawrence gets bail tomorrow and MP ticket the day after. He has all the qualities of a politician.
