The Mumbai Police said it received a death threat against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday. The Chief Minister’s security has been beefed up following the message.

Eloborating on the matter, they said that Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell from an unknown number claimed that Adityanath would meet a fate similar to that of the late NCP leader Baba Siddique if he did not step down in the next 10 days. 

The Mumbai police are currently investigating the matter and are also attempting to locate the perpetrator of the death threat against Adityanath.

How Baba Siddique was killed?

 Baba Siddique was shot dead by three men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office while celebrating Dussehra on October 12.

This incident follows the arrest of Azam Mohammed Mustafa, who threatened Bollywood actor Salman Khan with a demand for ₹2 crore. Additionally, Mohammad Tayyab, a 20-year-old from Noida, was arrested for threatening both Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddique, demanding money from them.
