Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan has shared that the family is facing a tough time dealing with the murder of politician and family friend Baba Siddique, adding that the focus is on ensuring the safety of his brother and actor Salman Khan.
Baba Siddique’s assailants claimed to be associated with the Bishnoi gang, whose leader Lawrence remains incarcerated in Gujarat’s Sabarmati Jail. It is the same gang that allegedly fired shots outside Salman Khan’s residence earlier this year.
