Lawrence Bishnoi gang shares Facebook post
On October 13, a gang member of Lawrence Bishnoi shared a Facebook post, which quickly went viral. The post read that the gang targeted Baba Siddique because of his close ties to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and alleged links to underworld figures like Dawood Ibrahim.
The gang member wrote, "Om, Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat," followed by, "I understand the essence of life, and consider wealth and the body as dust. I did only what was right, honouring the duty of friendship."
The post further read "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."
The member also mentioned that they have no personal enmity with anyone. However, anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang should be prepared.
"If anyone gets any of our brothers killed, we will respond. We never strike first. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat, salute to the martyrs", the post further read.
