Anuj Thapan’s Revenge: Bishnoi Gang’s Chilling Confession Behind Baba Siddique Murder Shakes Mumbai
In a recent twist to the Baba Siddique murder case, a social media post claiming responsibility for the killing has gone viral. The post, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has sparked widespread attention, mentioning names like Dawood Ibrahim and Bollywood actor Salman Khan. The post claims that the murder of Baba Siddique was carried out to avenge the death of Anuj Thapan, raising questions about his connection to this high-profile crime.
The Murder of Baba Siddique
On the night of October 12, 2024, former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by three unidentified assailants in Mumbai. The police have arrested two suspects, while the third remains at large. As investigations continue, this social media post has added a new dimension to the case.
Who Was Anuj Thapan?
Anuj Thapan, a 23-year-old from Punjab, was involved in several criminal activities before his death. He first came to public attention in April 2024, when two men fired shots outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. The police arrested the shooters, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, in Gujarat, along with several others who supplied the weapons, including Anuj Thapan.
A few days after his arrest, Anuj died by suicide in police custody. He reportedly tried to hang himself using a bedsheet in the jail’s restroom. Despite being rushed to GT Hospital, he was declared dead by the doctors. At the time of his death, Thapan had three cases against him, including charges of attempted murder and extortion.
The Social Media Confession
The viral post, shared by a user named "Shubhu Lonkar Maharashtra," alleges that Baba Siddique’s murder was in retaliation for Anuj Thapan’s death. The post claims that Siddique was involved with Dawood Ibrahim in illegal dealings related to Bollywood, politics, and property. It further threatens Salman Khan, accusing him of being linked to the incident that led to Thapan’s death.
The message makes it clear that the gang did not intend to target Siddique initially but did so after their "brother" Anuj Thapan was harmed. It warns others who may assist Dawood Ibrahim or Salman Khan in the future.
Police Response
Mumbai police have acknowledged the viral post and are investigating its contents. They are looking into the alleged connection between Baba Siddique’s murder and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, while also verifying the claims made in the social media confession. The case continues to develop as authorities explore all possible angles.
This confession adds a chilling twist to the ongoing investigation, linking the killing of a prominent politician to a web of criminal activities and gang rivalries involving Bollywood and underworld figures.
