Bandra Police registered a non-cognisable offence after Arshia Siddique, sister of NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique, complained about a viral audio clip. In the clip, a voice claiming to be gangster Zeeshan Akhtar threatens to kill Zeeshan, saying 'it's your turn'. Akhtar is absconding and was allegedly involved in the murder of Zeeshan's father, Baba Siddique, in October 2024. Police are verifying the audio's authenticity and tracing its source. Zeeshan is not in Mumbai and has faced threats before.


This latest threat to Zeeshan Siddique feeds the narrative of a relentless gang war spilling into politics. But panic helps no one. The audio clip may be a hoax or a genuine threat; police must verify it quickly. The real test is whether investigators can trace the IP address or voice print. If it is fake, it is just another bid to terrorise a grieving family. If real, it proves the gang's reach remains unchecked even after the arrests in Baba Siddique's murder.
