Baba Siddiqui Death: Security Beefed up Outside Salman Khan’s Residence

Mumbai: Security at Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra has been significantly enhanced following the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. 

A heavy police presence is present to ensure the actor's safety, as he has been a target of the gang in the past.

Over 60 plainclothes officers are stationed around the Bandstand and near Galaxy Apartments, working around the clock to monitor any suspicious activity. These officers follow a standard operating procedure (SOP) to maintain constant vigilance.

AI-Enabled CCTV Cameras Put In Place

Additionally, the Mumbai Police have employed AI-enabled high-resolution CCTV cameras with facial recognition technology. These cameras are designed to alert authorities if an individual is detected multiple times, indicating potential reconnaissance, an official said. 

The increased police presence comes after an attack in April, when shooters affiliated with the Bishnoi gang attempted to target Khan outside his residence, despite existing security measures.

The area surrounding Galaxy Apartments now resembles a police outpost, with security checkpoints established at various locations and officers strategically positioned. Approximately 60 uniformed policemen, including female officers, are stationed outside the building, with police vans and jeeps regularly reporting to the Bandra Police and the Protection Branch.

Visitors to the building undergo thorough screening, with all identities recorded and verified before entry. Unauthorized individuals and fans are prohibited from gathering outside the apartment complex.

Khan's Y-plus security detail includes a team of eight to ten armed policemen, some of whom accompany him. His movements are coordinated with local police stations, which secure the area ahead of his arrival.
