The Story in Brief
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Zeeshan Siddique received a fresh death threat on Thursday via an audio clip that went viral, Hindustan Times reports. The clip, circulated among north Indian media, allegedly features absconding suspect Zeeshan Akhtar, who is involved in the killing of Zeeshan’s father, former minister Baba Siddique. In it, a voice says: 'I killed your father, and now it’s your turn.'
Police said a family member approached them after hearing the clip. They are verifying the clip’s authenticity and whether the voice is Akhtar’s, who is believed to be out of India. A non-cognisable complaint is being registered. Zeeshan, who has received threats before, is not in Mumbai. Baba Siddique was shot dead outside his son’s office in Bandra East on October 12, 2024, allegedly orchestrated by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The Indian Opinion
Threats via viral audio clips make for dramatic headlines but risk amplifying the very intimidation they condemn. The police must resist the urge to treat this as just another social media spectacle. The concrete test will be forensic voice analysis matching the clip to known recordings of Akhtar, and cross-checking his location with Interpol. Until that happens, the loudest voice in the story should be the law, not a death warrant circulated online.
