Stand-up comedian and Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui has found himself in some serious hot water, and no, we’re not talking about a comedy roast gone wrong! According to recent reports, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang—yes, the same gang making headlines for its underworld notoriety—has allegedly set its sights on Munawar, leaving fans and authorities scrambling to ensure his safety.
It all began last month when Munawar was in Delhi for an event, but things took a sinister twist. Reports suggest that members of the Bishnoi gang were plotting to attack him, even going so far as to book a room in the same hotel where Munawar was staying. Talk about checking in with bad intentions! Thankfully, the Delhi Police Special Cell caught wind of the plan just in time, and Munawar was swiftly escorted back to Mumbai under tight security.
Since then, the Mumbai Police aren’t taking any chances. Security around the comedian has been seriously beefed up—no joking matter here. A senior officer confirmed that they’re keeping a close eye on the situation. While there hasn’t been an official link confirmed between the threats and the Bishnoi gang, the plot thickens as investigators continue to dig deeper.
What’s even more chilling is that the gang’s alleged plot came to light during an investigation into the murder of Delhi businessman Nadir Shah. One of the arrested shooters revealed that they had conducted surveillance on Munawar’s Delhi hotel with plans to strike. Talk about a real-life thriller no one signed up for!
For those unfamiliar with the gang’s infamous track record, Lawrence Bishnoi’s crew is no stranger to controversy, having also claimed responsibility for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. With Munawar now on their radar, the stakes are higher than ever.
As for Munawar, he’s known for handling life’s tough situations with humor, but this time around, it looks like even the best punchline won’t lighten the mood. Stay safe, Munawar—seems like the joke’s on them if they think they can take him down easily.
