The Mumbai Police are currently investigating a serious death threat against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, prompting an immediate increase in security measures surrounding the Chief Minister. The threat was received by the Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell via an unknown number, and it chillingly alluded to a similar fate for Adityanath as that of the late NCP leader Baba Siddique. The message demanded Adityanath step down within 10 days, or face consequences.
The threat echoes the recent murder of Baba Siddique, who was shot dead by three men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office on October 12 while celebrating Dussehra. The killing has sent shockwaves through the region, leading to heightened security measures and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crime.
Adding to the growing tension, the recent arrest of Azam Mohammed Mustafa for threatening Bollywood actor Salman Khan with a demand for ₹ 2 crore further underscores the rising concerns regarding security threats. Additionally, Mohammad Tayyab, a 20-year-old from Noida, was arrested for threatening both Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddique, demanding money from them.
The Mumbai Police are diligently investigating the threat against Adityanath, working to identify the perpetrator and ensure the safety of the Chief Minister. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in combating threats of violence and intimidation, particularly against prominent figures. The authorities are determined to bring those responsible for these threats to justice.
