Since actor Salman Khan's incident with the blackbuck, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been issuing threats against him. The gang's shooters have previously opened fire outside Salman's house. Recently, they intensified their terror by shooting Baba Siddiqui, a close associate of Salman and former Maharashtra minister. They've even threatened Salman and those linked to underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim. Meanwhile, Pappu Yadav, an independent MP from Purnia, made a statement about Lawrence Bishnoi, which has come back to haunt him, turning the feud from Salman and Bishnoi towards Pappu Yadav.
After the murder of Baba Siddiqui, Pappu Yadav called Bishnoi a low-level criminal, declaring that, given legal authority, he could dismantle the gang within 24 hours. He criticized the situation wherein a criminal operates from jail, committing acts unabatedly. Following his bold statement, comparisons between Pappu Yadav and Lawrence Bishnoi have surfaced. Supporters of Pappu claim that as a seasoned gangster, new faces like Lawrence stand no chance. In contrast, Bishnoi's followers boast about their worldwide network of shooters, capable of taking lives at will.
The buzz around Pappu Yadav’s statement escalated when he was questioned about Lawrence during a press conference, leading to an outburst. Subsequent criticism only spurred him to announce a visit to Mumbai, where he met Baba Siddiqui's son, Zeeshan Siddiqui, and expressed his intention to meet Salman Khan, constrained later to a phone call due to Salman's busy shooting schedule.

Amidst increasing support, Pappu Yadav was hailed as a lion-hearted leader by his followers and likened to a formidable don. A viral video showcased him wielding a baton, with supporters suggesting Lawrence wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Tensions escalated when a threatening phone call was received, cautioning Pappu Yadav to be prudent with his statements against Lawrence. With insinuations about karmic justice, the gang member warned against political aspirations disrupting their path. Pappu Yadav retorted that neither he nor anyone else would capitulate to their threats, maintaining that his endeavors would persist.

What did Pappu Yadav say after receiving threats?
Upon receiving threats, Pappu Yadav stated, "I bear no personal grudge against anyone in my life. I'll express my ideological views, and security responsibility rests on the government. I strive for Jharkhand's safety, addressing the DGP, IG, and seeking a Chief Minister audience, albeit meeting with a secretary. Be it politics or public safety, my advocacy remains unyielding.” Amid this safety discontent, he criticized unmerited Z-security allocations while persistent threats remained unanswered. Despite these, he proceeded to Mumbai, engaging with Salman Khan and Baba Siddiqui’s family toward societal contributions expected from everyone.
Pappu Yadav accused the Chief Minister of denying him an audience, questioning if one must perish absent power. He lamented selective meetings, appealing to Home Minister Amit Shah for safety deliberations, decrying that the absence of governmental protection implies self-reliance on security matters.
