The caller repeatedly threatens Khan with statements like, “Speak cautiously,” “Your number is coming up” and “We will have to act.” When Khan asks the caller about Lawrence Bishnoi, the latter responds aggressively, “You will find out soon. Wait for two to three days. I will show you.” The call ends abruptly with profanities from the unidentified caller.When asked, Additional Superintendent of Police (City) Ramanand Prasad told PTI, “Whether the call was genuinely from the Bishnoi gang or a fraudster, is yet to be confirmed. However, we are taking the matter seriously. The caller’s number is under surveillance, and efforts are underway to trace him. An officer at the Deputy Superintendent of Police level has been assigned to investigate it.” The ASP said in October last year, the Mumbai police had linked a village in the Bahraich district to the murder of Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique.Seven suspects – Shiva alias Shiv Kumar, Dharmaraj, Anurag Kashyap, Harish, Akhilendra, Akash Srivastava and Gyan Prakash arrested from various locations, belonged to Gandara village under the Kaiserganj police station limits in Bahraich.On October 12, during the Dussehra celebrations in Mumbai, shooters allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang shot and killed Baba Siddique.Tariq Khan, a resident of Mohalla Chhoti Bazar, Badi Hat, Bahraich, is the son of Teje Khan, a senior Samajwadi Party leader.Teje Khan has served twice as the chairman of Bahraich Municipal Board.
