Noida Man Arrested for Threatening Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddiqui, Raising Concerns Over Rising Extortion Attempts

In a concerning development that highlights the rising trend of extortion attempts against high-profile individuals, a 20-year-old man has been arrested in Noida for allegedly issuing death threats and demanding ransom from Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui. The suspect, identified as Mohammed Tayyab, is currently in police custody and will be taken to Mumbai for further legal proceedings.

The threats, which were directed at Zeeshan Siddiqui’s office in Bandra, Mumbai, were delivered via messages on Friday evening. The messages demanded a hefty ransom for the safety of both Khan and Siddiqui, prompting a staff member at the MLA’s office to file a police complaint. Following an investigation, authorities swiftly identified Tayyab as the perpetrator of these alarming threats.

This incident comes on the heels of another arrest involving a 24-year-old vegetable seller from Jamshedpur, Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin, who was apprehended after sending a threatening message demanding a ₹ 5 crore ransom from the Mumbai traffic police via their WhatsApp helpline. These recent arrests underscore the growing problem of extortion attempts targeting high-profile figures in India.

Salman Khan, in particular, has been the target of numerous security threats in recent months. In April, suspected members of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang fired shots outside his residence in Bandra, prompting a significant increase in his security measures. This latest incident further amplifies the concerns surrounding Khan’s safety and raises questions about the effectiveness of existing security protocols.

The arrest of Mohammed Tayyab serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of high-profile individuals to threats and extortion attempts. It also highlights the need for robust security measures and proactive law enforcement strategies to combat this escalating problem. As authorities continue to investigate these incidents, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and security of those who are targeted by these threats.
