‘How can public feel safe?’: Zeeshan Siddique claims ‘four threats in two months’ after Tiger Shroff incident

Mumbai's security measures came under scrutiny following a firing incident that targeted actor Tiger Shroff, raising concerns about the city's ability to protect high-profile individuals. NCP MLC Zeeshan Siddique lamented that repeated threats and attacks on celebrities indicated serious shortcomings in the state's law enforcement and intelligence systems.

Siddique inquired, "If actors, politicians, and businessmen are not secure in Mumbai, how can ordinary citizens feel safe?" The NCP politician alleged receiving four death threats in the past two months, yet his security cover remained unchanged. He questioned whether authorities were deliberately waiting for a more serious incident to take action.

Siddique urged the state government to enforce stringent measures to safeguard citizens, emphasizing that such incidents were undermining public confidence in the state's security apparatus. The Mumbai Police reported that three to four rounds were fired at Tiger Shroff's vehicle while the actor was exiting a location in the city, with Shroff and his driver reportedly unharmed.

Siddique condemned the situation as an intelligence failure and called for a thorough investigation into the recent murder of his father, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. The NCP leader demanded accountability from the government and the return of fugitive gangster Anmol Bishnoi from the United States to India for questioning, alleging that Mumbai Police had not yet interrogated him.
