Somy Ali, former girlfriend of Bollywood star Salman Khan, has stirred controversy by inviting jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for a Zoom call. This comes in light of recent threats against Khan from Bishnoi’s gang.
Ali’s Instagram post expresses her curiosity about how Bishnoi manages to conduct Zoom calls from prison and requests a conversation with him. Following the murder of Baba Siddique, a close associate of Khan, security measures for Salman have been significantly increased.
Ali, who dated Khan in the 1990s, garnered attention with her recent gesture, especially given the current climate surrounding threats against Khan. On October 17, 2024, she shared a direct message on Instagram addressed to Bishnoi, who is currently imprisoned at Sabarmati Central Jail.
In her message, she wrote: “Namaste, Lawrence bhai. I’ve heard and seen that you’re conducting Zoom calls from jail, and I’d like to discuss a few things with you. Please let me know how that’s possible. Rajasthan is my favorite place, and I want to visit your temple for a prayer, but let’s have the Zoom call first. Trust me, this chat is for your benefit. Please share your mobile number; I’d appreciate it. Thank you.”
This post follows the murder of Baba Siddique, for which Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility, issuing threats to Khan’s associates. In response, Khan’s security has been heightened.
In connection with an alleged plot to kill Khan, the Navi Mumbai police recently arrested Sukha, a member of Bishnoi’s gang, in Panipat, Haryana. Sukha is set to appear in court on Thursday, and this arrest follows a shooting incident outside Khan’s residence in Bandra in April.
