Siddique’s security was updated to Y class

The 66-year-old, a three-time MLA from Bandra West, had switched to the NCP in February this year after quitting the Congress.

Police said his security was upgraded to Y class category after he received death threats 15 days ago.

According to reports, police are also trying to explore any possible links between Siddique’s murder and death threats by the Bishnoi gang to actor Salman Khan.
