Mumbai
Renowned comedian Munawar Faruqui has become the latest addition to Lawrence Bishnoi’s hitlist, according to a police report. Bishnoi’s gang had allegedly planned to eliminate Faruqui in Delhi last September.
Foiled Assassination Attempt
Intelligence agencies received a tip-off about the potential threat, prompting swift action. Faruqui was promptly brought back to Mumbai, and security measures were put in place to ensure his safety.
Reason Behind the Threat
Reports suggest that Faruqui’s comments about Hindu deities have angered Bishnoi and his associates, leading to the threat on his life.
Bishnoi’s Expanding Hitlist
This development comes after Baba Siddique’s name surfaced on Bishnoi’s hitlist. The gang’s widening scope of targets raises concerns about the growing threat to public figures.
Police Investigation and Security Measures
Authorities are investigating the matter, and Faruqui’s security has been beefed up. The incident highlights the need for increased vigilance and coordination between law enforcement agencies to protect potential targets.
Concerns About Freedom of Speech
The threat against Faruqui raises concerns about the safety of artists, comedians, and public figures who express their opinions. This incident underscores the importance of protecting freedom of speech and ensuring the security of those who exercise it.
