Security ramped up for Bigg Boss star Munawar Faruqui amid Bishnoi gang threats

Munawar Faruqui, the winner of Bigg Boss 17 and host of Playground season 4, is reportedly on the hit list of the Bishnoi gang, leading to heightened security measures from Mumbai Police.

Following a perceived threat to his safety, sources revealed on Monday that Mumbai Police have increased protection for the comedian.

A senior officer confirmed, “We have provided him protection,” although they have not directly linked the threats to any specific group. However, speculation points towards the Bishnoi gang as the source of the threats.

This increase in security follows an incident in September, when Munawar was scheduled to attend an event in Delhi.

The Delhi Police's Special Cell received specific intelligence about a potential attack on him, prompting his immediate removal from the event and safe return to Mumbai under police protection.

Further details indicate that the intelligence regarding the threat emerged during an investigation into the murder of Delhi businessman Nadir Shah.

An arrested shooter reportedly informed police that they had been surveilling a hotel where Faruqui was meant to stay while attending a match with fellow social media figure Elvish Yadav.

In response to these developments, the Mumbai Police are maintaining vigilance, ensuring that Munawar Faruqui remains under enhanced security amid ongoing concerns for his safety.
