'Salman Khan, we did not want this war'…: What Bishnoi gang member posted
In a Facebook post, a gang member has said that the murder happened because of Siddique’s ties with actor Salman Khan and alleged links with fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
"Salman Khan, we did not want this war but you made our brother lose his life. Today the pool of decency of Baba Siddique is closed or at one time he was under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) with Dawood. The reason for his death was his links to Dawood and Anuj Thapan in Bollywood, politics, and property dealings," the post said.
"We have no personal enmity with anyone. However, anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang should be prepared. If anyone gets any of our brothers killed, we will respond. We never strike first. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat, salute to the martyrs", it said.
