The assassination of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Leader Baba Siddique on October 12 has sent shockwaves through the Bollywood industry. Siddique's close ties to several celebrities, including Salman Khan, have drawn attention to the potential motives behind the killing. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the murder on social media. This revelation is particularly concerning, given Bishnoi's history of issuing threats against Salman Khan. Amidst this, an old video of actor Vivek Oberoi talking about the Bishnoi samaj has resurfaced online.
