Is Lawrence Bishnoi Trying to Create a ‘D-Company’ in Bollywood? Baba Siddique's Murder Just a Trailer?
For the past 48 hours, one name has dominated headlines: Lawrence Bishnoi. His potential connection to the murder of politician Baba Siddique is being debated across newsrooms. While no solid link between Bishnoi and the killing has emerged, several unsettling questions linger—was the murder linked to Siddique's close ties with Bollywood actor Salman Khan? Or is Bishnoi attempting to become the new kingpin of Mumbai’s underworld, a position that’s been left vacant since Dawood Ibrahim?
Baba Siddique’s Murder: Is It a Message?
The attack on Baba Siddique has raised eyebrows for more reasons than one. Siddique, known for his Bollywood connections and long-standing camaraderie with Salman Khan, became a target. If Lawrence Bishnoi was indeed behind the hit, one theory suggests that the gangster is trying to intimidate Khan’s inner circle, sowing fear within the industry. Alternatively, the killing could be part of a grander plan to stake his claim as the new underworld boss in Mumbai.
The Dawood Ibrahim Connection
For decades, Dawood Ibrahim ruled Mumbai’s underworld with an iron fist, his reign stretching from India to Pakistan, Nepal, and the UAE. In the 80s and 90s, he was synonymous with organized crime in Mumbai. But after Dawood fled to Pakistan, the city’s criminal landscape splintered, with names like Ravi Pujari and Arun Gawli rising briefly before fizzling out.
Now, with the likes of Gawli and Pujari no longer in control, there’s speculation that Bishnoi might be positioning himself as the next big don of Mumbai, eager to fill the vacuum Dawood left behind. Bishnoi has already carved out a reputation for orchestrating high-profile murders, much like Dawood did in his early days. His network, like Dawood’s, is believed to extend beyond Indian borders, with ties in Canada and the US.
Bishnoi’s 'Cult' Appeal and the Rise of a New Don
What makes Bishnoi’s rise particularly intriguing is how he styles himself. Much like Dawood, Bishnoi has managed to develop a following. But unlike the suited-booted lifestyle of Dawood, Bishnoi projects an image of a modern-day Robin Hood. His followers see him as someone who protects Indian values—yet, paradoxically, he thrives in the criminal underworld.
During his recent court appearances, Bishnoi was seen with a bold tattoo of “Jai Shri Ram” on his arm and often adorned with a tilak, signaling his religious leanings. These visuals have gone viral, adding to his “man of faith” persona. It’s clear that Bishnoi is meticulously crafting an image of himself, not just as a gangster but as someone with a higher purpose. This mix of religion, crime, and calculated image-building is eerily reminiscent of Dawood’s own methods of using influence and fear to control Mumbai.
The Bollywood Connection and Beyond
If Baba Siddique's murder is indeed linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, the implications are chilling. Baba had a long history of connections to both Bollywood and, reportedly, the underworld. Speculation about his involvement in real estate dealings and potential ties to black money has always cast a shadow over his political career. There have been allegations that Siddique had connections with drug dealers and even helped launder money for D-Company.
Does Bishnoi Want to Rule Bollywood?
Given the deep ties between Bollywood and Mumbai's underworld, Bishnoi may be aiming to recreate the influence that Dawood once had over the entertainment industry. Rumors are swirling that Bishnoi’s plan may not just be about controlling Mumbai’s streets but gaining a foothold in Bollywood as well, possibly by targeting high-profile names like Salman Khan and his associates.
Bishnoi has already made headlines for threatening Khan, and if Siddique’s murder is indeed linked to these threats, Bishnoi’s intentions to dominate Bollywood could be more than just rumors. His network allegedly includes overseas operatives, which would give him the reach and resources needed to challenge anyone standing in his way.
