The Story in Brief
Mumbai Crime Branch forensic analysis has confirmed that a threatening audio sent to NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique matches the voice of wanted gangster Zeeshan Akhtar, a key accused in the murder of Siddique's father Baba Siddique.
Two death threats were issued within a week. The second was sent directly to Siddique’s personal mobile number, raising concerns about his contact details being compromised. Akhtar, who is absconding and possibly hiding in Pakistan, is linked to the Goldy Brar-Rohit Godara network. Indiatvnews reports Siddique is currently abroad, and he has informed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti. Security around the family has been tightened.
The Indian Opinion
These threats are serious, but the media should avoid turning every gangster’s audio into a panic headline. Forensic work has confirmed the voice, that is good police progress. The real test is whether the Anti-Extortion Cell can now trace the local logistics network supporting Akhtar. That will determine if this is just one man’s bluff or a functioning extortion ring.
