Following the murder of Baba Siddique, a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and close friend of Salman Khan, the Maharashtra government has assigned Y-plus security to the Bollywood star. Siddique was killed in Mumbai on October 12, reportedly by three members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This added security for Salman is a precaution because there are fears he might be targeted as well. Now, Vindu Dara Singh has spoken out about the happenings.
In a new interview, Salman's close friend Vindu Dara Singh shared his feelings about the troubling events happening in the film industry. He told Instant Bollywood, "You have to understand. A different type of law is going on. This is very funny because there is a court and everything. No one knows the truth, and nothing has been proven yet. So it is really shocking and unbelievable what is happening. I hope and pray that better sense prevails and Salman ko kuch na ho (nothing happens to Salman)."

Kripya karke mujhe bataye ke yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Hamari puri duniya mai sabse pasand ki jagah Rajasthan hai. Hum aapke mandir aana chahate hain Pooja ke liye par pehle aapse Zoom call ho jaye Aur kuch baatain teh ho jaye Pooja ke baad. Phir yakeen maniyye ke yeh aapke fayade ki he baatain hain. Apna mobile number de dejiye bada ehsaan ho ga aap ka. Shukriya".
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.

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.
