The murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique has been widely condemned. He was killed after being shot at outside his office in Nirmal Nagar. He sustained two gunshot wounds to his chest before being brought to Mumbai`s Lilavati Hospital for emergency treatment, where he succumbed to death on Saturday night. Several celebrities from the Indian film industry were spotted at his funeral which took place on Sunday. While Salman Khan attended the last rites, Shah Rukh Khan, who was equally close to the politician gave it a miss.
A source quoted by Zoom TV states, "Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t want to get associated in the politician’s murder case. The case is also related to Salman Khan and King Khan, for that matter, wishes to stay away from this! Knowing how Lawrence Bishnoi’s circuit works, Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t want any harm on him anymore. Hence, he has chosen `disappearance` in the entire matter by skipping Baba Siddique’s funeral who was a close friend to him."
