Attacks Continue on Salman, Baba Siddique, and Saif Ali Khan
Big names are being targeted…
(1) Mumbai: On Thursday morning, a thief broke into Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s house in Mumbai’s Bandra and allegedly attacked him with a knife. The actor suffered multiple injuries in the attack. Saif Ali Khan’s wife and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was reportedly also present inside the house at the time of the incident.
This shocking incident has left everyone stunned. However, it is noteworthy that this is the third such incident in the posh Bandra area of Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi also pointed out that Baba Siddique’s murder, the firing at Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments, and now the attempted robbery at Saif’s house all happened in Bandra.
In a post on X, she stated, “It is extremely shameful that yet another high-profile murder attempt has occurred in Mumbai. The attack on Saif Ali Khan once again raises questions about the Mumbai Police and the Home Minister. It’s a disgrace that Mumbai Police and the Home Minister are responsible for these incidents.” She further added, “This clearly shows that targeting big names is a deliberate attempt to weaken Mumbai.”
Chaturvedi also emphasized that Bandra, which is home to most celebrities, should have adequate security. She questioned, “If celebrities aren’t safe, who in Mumbai is?”
After the incident, Saif Ali Khan was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where the hospital’s Chief Operating Officer, Neeraj Utmani, stated that the actor sustained six injuries, two of which were severe.
According to another police officer, the attacker fled the scene after injuring Saif. Multiple police teams have been formed to arrest the accused, and the process of registering an FIR has started. Previously in Bandra, MLA Baba Siddique was murdered, and Salman Khan’s house was fired upon.

(2) The Murder of Baba Siddique
Let us remind you that in October 2024, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by three attackers outside his son Zeeshan’s office in Bandra East, Mumbai. The leader was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
DCP (Crime Branch) Datta Nalawade said that the 66-year-old veteran politician’s murder was allegedly pre-planned and carried out on the busy night of Dussehra. He added that the attackers fired six rounds at the NCP leader.
Allegedly, the shooters had been in Mumbai for about 25-30 days before the incident and had surveyed the shooting site as well as Baba Siddique’s home and office. The police revealed that Siddique had received death threats 15 days prior to the murder, after which his security was upgraded to Y-category.

(3) Firing at Salman Khan’s House
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has received death threats on several occasions. In April 2024, firing took place outside his Galaxy Apartments residence in Bandra. Two individuals fired shots at Salman’s house. Their faces were covered with helmets. After the firing, the attackers fled the scene on a motorcycle.
The two attackers who fired at Salman Khan’s house allegedly wanted to threaten Salman for not apologizing after killing a blackbuck.
It is worth noting that the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan worships the blackbuck.
Interestingly, just last week, Salman Khan had his Bandra house renovated. The actor’s house is now equipped with a bulletproof balcony, modern security systems, and high-resolution CCTV cameras to detect any suspicious activity in the vicinity.
