MLA Zeeshan Siddique Receives Death Threat From Portugal Number

MLA Zeeshan Siddique received a death threat through a voice note sent to his mobile phone from a Portugal-based number two days ago while he was abroad. The voice note was sent by a caller who identified himself as Zeeshan Akhtar and claimed to be associated with a gang.

The caller allegedly threatened to kill Siddique and claimed that he had asked a fellow gang member to kill Siddique’s father, Baba Siddique, two years before he was murdered. Members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang have been accused in Baba Siddique’s murder case.

On Friday, Siddique visited Bandra Police Station and filed a non-cognisable (NC) complaint, police said. After filing the NC, Siddique spoke to the media and said he received the voice message while he was abroad.

Siddique recalled that he had received threats through social media earlier and questioned the security arrangements. He said that his security had been removed and he had spoken to Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharati about this.

Siddique suspected that a specific builder lobby could be behind these threats. He said that he had forwarded the voice note to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Mumbai Police Commissioner.

Before travelling abroad, he had also met the Chief Minister and raised concerns about the withdrawal of his security. Last week, during a hearing related to Siddique’s writ petition, he received another death threat through social media.

His sister, Arshia Siddique, subsequently filed an NC at Bandra Police Station. Siddique said that he previously had eight police personnel assigned to him and 22 personnel deployed at his residence. However, after his mother approached the court, seven of the eight personnel assigned to him were withdrawn.

Siddique expressed dissatisfaction with the investigation into his father’s murder. He said that if someone fires at him tomorrow, those responsible for his father’s murder will be responsible.

The Mumbai Police have been informed about the threat and Siddique has requested them to take necessary action to ensure his safety. The police are investigating the matter and trying to trace the caller.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of MLAs and the effectiveness of the security arrangements in place. The Mumbai Police have been asked to review the security of all MLAs and take necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

The death threat to Siddique is a serious matter and the police must take immediate action to ensure his safety. The incident has also highlighted the need for better security arrangements for MLAs and their families.

In conclusion, the death threat to MLA Zeeshan Siddique is a serious incident that requires immediate attention from the police and the government. The safety of MLAs and their families is a top priority and necessary measures must be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
