New Delhi: In a surprising turn of events, Mumbai Police received a death threat to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in a message.
In the message sent to the Mumbai Police Traffic Control Cell, CM Yogi was warned that he would be “killed like Baba Siddiqui” if he did not resign within 10 days.
Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was gunned down allegedly by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang on October 12 in Bandra (East) of Mumbai.
The message came from an unknown number on Saturday evening, which later led to the tracing of the arrested woman. Her intention behind the message, however, is not yet clear.
While further investigation is underway to determine the details behind the message, authorities have beefed up CM Yogi Adityanath’s security following the message.
The threat comes after the Mumbai traffic police received similar messages targeting Bollywood actor Salman Khan after former minister Baba Siddique was shot dead.

On October 29, the police got a message threatening Salman Khan and demanding Rs 2 crore from him. A man from Bandra was arrested in the case. In the second instance, a threat message said that Salman Khan would have a fate worse than Siddique’s if he had not paid Rs 5 crore.
This is the third time a threat message has been received by the Mumbai traffic police since Siddique’s murder.
Baba Siddique was shot dead by three men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office on October 12.
