The Story in Brief
Bandra police have registered a non-cognisable offence after the sister of NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique complained about a threat audio clip circulating on social media. The clip, posted by an account claiming to be gangster Zeeshan Akhtar, says: "I have killed your father, and now it’s your turn." Zeeshan Siddique did not receive any direct threat. Police are verifying the authenticity of the clip and tracing the IP address from which it was uploaded. The threat comes ten months after Siddique's father, former minister Baba Siddique, was shot dead in October 2024.
The Indian Opinion
The threat clip, which also drags the Sushant Singh Rajput case into its script, feeds a lazy narrative of an all-powerful gangster network. But the police have not yet verified the voice or the IP address. The real test is whether the account can be traced to any credible source or if this is another viral hoax designed to rattle a politician. Will the investigation convert this into a cognisable offence, or will it stay a non-cognisable complaint?
