Mumbai, Oct 13: Security has been beefed up outside the apartment of Bollywood actor Salman Khan after killing of his close friend and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique last night.
Baba Siddique, a leader in Ajit Pawar's faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is known for his good relations with bollywood actors and a family friend of Salman Khan.
He was shot near Nirmal Nagar in Bandra and later succumbed to his bullet injuries at Lilavati Hospital late Saturday night.
Salman postponed his film shooting hearing the news and reached Lilavati Hospital late on Saturday night to offer his condolences and meet the family of Siddique, who passed away from bullet injuries.
The event comes months after an earlier security scare involving the actor.
On April 14, two bike-borne men opened fire outside Salman Khan's Bandra residence. The assailants, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, were later arrested in Gujarat.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police has registered a case in connection to the killing of Siddique under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Arms Act and Maharashtra Police Act.
