The POLICE can't catch him because he is under the protection of the GOVERNMENT in a JAIL and his spokesman speaks from ABROAD .."
He further wrote, " If a Bollywood writer comes up with a story like this they will thrash him for writing the most unbelievable and ridiculous story ever".

For those unaware, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed responsibiltiy for the murder of Baba Siddique which was executed by three men on Saturday, October 12. A viral post claims that the gangster pulled out the act as the politician was helping Salman Khan. The superstar and the late politician have been family friends for decade. His murder came as a shock for Khan who seen in tears at the latter's residence on Sunday.
Bishnoi and Khan's beef goes back to early 2000s when the superstar was held in a black buck shooting case in Rajasthan. While he spent a week in jail for the crime, the Bishnoi community who consider black bucks sacred have been targetting the actor ever since with death threats.
Baba Siddique's murder 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. Bishnoi had later claimed responsibility for the incident. Ever since, Khan has been moving around with heavy security.
