Salman Khan and Baba Siddique¡¯s friendship dates back several years in person and the actor was a frequent visitor at the politician¡¯s star-studded Eid parties. It was one of those bash when Baba had made conciliation between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan after their years of feud. This friendship of Salman and Baba didn¡¯t go down well with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi who decided to kill the latter.
In a Facebook post made by one of the Bishnoi gang members just a day after Baba¡¯s death, October 12, the person wrote, "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.¡±
Ever since that day, Salman Khan has been closely in touch with Baba¡¯s family and has been their support in whatever way possible.
