The recent brutal killing of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique has sent shockwaves through the Bollywood film fraternity and beyond. Authorities are investigating the involvement of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, known for their brazen attacks and threats against high-profile figures.

The gang, which previously claimed responsibility for the assassination of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, is suspected to be behind Siddique’s murder. India Today, in an exclusive report, has revealed a chilling hit list, allegedly provided by Lawrence Bishnoi himself during interrogation with the NIA.

**Celebrities in the Crosshairs:**

* **Salman Khan:** The Bollywood superstar is the prime target of the Bishnoi gang, stemming from his alleged involvement in a 1998 black buck shooting case. The gang openly threatened Khan in 2018, and an incident involving shots fired at Khan’s residence in April 2024 further heightened concerns.
* **Munawar Faruqui:** The Bigg Boss 17 winner was reportedly targeted by the gang in September 2024. Two henchmen followed him to Delhi, but the plan was foiled by intelligence agencies.
* **Shaganpreet Singh:** The manager of slain singer Sidhu Moose Wala is also on the list, allegedly because he provided shelter to the killers of Vicky Middukhera, a close associate of the Bishnoi gang.

**Beyond Bollywood:**

* **Zeeshan Siddiqui:** The son of Baba Siddiqui, who also received threats, is on the Bishnoi gang’s target list, according to Mumbai Police. The accused in Siddique’s murder reportedly stated they were ordered to fire on anyone they found, including Zeeshan.
* **Mandeep Dhariwal:** Allegedly involved in helping the killers of Vicky Middukhera, Dhariwal was shot dead in the Philippines. The Goldy Brar gang, affiliated with the Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility.
* **Kaushal Chaudhary:** The gangster, currently in jail, is on the list for allegedly supplying weapons to Middukhera’s killers.
* **Amit Dagar:** Another gangster, also suspected of involvement in Middukhera’s murder, is a close associate of Chaudhary and thus, on the Bishnoi gang’s hit list.

The revelations of the hit list expose the reach and audacity of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, highlighting the serious threat they pose to individuals across various fields. Law enforcement agencies are working to dismantle the gang and bring its members to justice, while the high-profile targets remain under heightened security.
