24-Year-Old Woman Arrested After Allegedly Threatening UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s Life: Shocking Links to Baba Siddique’s Assassination Surface
Mumbai Police has apprehended a 24-year-old woman, identified as Fatima Khan from Ulhasnagar, Thane, for allegedly threatening the life of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The threatening message, reportedly sent via WhatsApp to Mumbai Traffic Police, warned that if CM Yogi did not resign within 10 days, he would be killed in a manner similar to the recent assassination of NCP leader Baba Siddique. The arrest was made after a swift joint operation by Mumbai's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Ulhasnagar Police. This case unfolds amidst heightened security measures as CM Yogi is scheduled to visit Maharashtra for the upcoming assembly elections.
INDC Network : Uttar Pradesh : Mumbai Police arrested a 24-year-old woman, Fatima Khan, on charges of threatening to assassinate Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath if he did not step down within 10 days. The arrest came shortly after Mumbai’s Traffic Police received a chilling message on their WhatsApp number, with a striking reference to the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead in broad daylight in Mumbai’s Bandra area. Khan allegedly warned that if Yogi Adityanath did not comply, he would face the same fate as Siddique.
The incident has stirred concern as CM Yogi is expected to arrive in Maharashtra on November 20, 2024, to campaign for the forthcoming state assembly elections. Mumbai Police, alerted by the threat, quickly mobilized to investigate and track down the source. Their probe pointed towards Fatima Khan, a resident of Ulhasnagar in Thane district, who lives with her family. Despite holding a degree in Information Technology (B.Sc IT) and being well-educated, police noted signs of mental instability, which may have influenced her actions.
In coordination with the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), the local police launched a joint operation to locate Khan. Authorities detained her on Saturday, November 3, 2024, just a day after the threat was issued. According to police officials, Khan’s father is involved in the timber business. The circumstances surrounding her motives are still under scrutiny, and investigators are exploring possible psychological or other external factors.
This case has drawn parallels to the high-profile murder of Baba Siddique, who was fatally shot by alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang shooters linked to Uttar Pradesh, sparking a national outcry. Since Khan’s arrest, Mumbai Police have stepped up security measures, particularly with CM Yogi’s scheduled visit drawing closer.
As further investigation unfolds, this arrest underscores the growing concerns about safety for public officials in the politically charged environment, with law enforcement agencies on high alert to avert any potential threats.
