UP CM Yogi Adityanath receives death threat in Mumbai; Reference made to Baba Siddique's case

Death Threat: In a startling development, the Mumbai Traffic Police reportedly received a death threat targeting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, demanding his resignation within 10 days. The threat warns that Adityanath will be murdered in a manner similar to former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique if he does not step down. Siddique, an NCP (Ajit Pawar) leader, was recently shot dead in Bandra, an incident that has already heightened concerns about public safety.

Threat rises concerns amid recent violence

The threat against CM Adityanath comes at a sensitive time, as Maharashtra has recently witnessed high-profile cases of violence. Siddique's tragic death has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, amplifying concerns regarding political safety. Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Salman Khan has also been targeted by a string of death threats, further straining the city’s security apparatus.

Authorities on high alert

The Mumbai Police have reportedly launched a full-scale investigation to identify the source of the threat. Security around Chief Minister Adityanath has also been reviewed, as police work to mitigate any potential risk. Meanwhile, Maharashtra law enforcement officials are actively exploring links between Siddique’s murder and the rising threats targeting high-profile individuals.

Intensifying security measures

Given the serious nature of this and recent threats, the security apparatus around key public figures in Mumbai is expected to be reinforced. Political and community leaders are calling for swift and stringent measures to ensure safety across the state.
