While seeking the transit custody of Raipur-based advocate Faizan Khan, who allegedly made a threat against Shah Rukh Khan earlier this month, the Bandra police informed a court in Chhattisgarh’s capital that a thorough investigation was required as the actor was close friends with slain NCP leader Baba Siddique.

In their application submitted before a local court in Raipur on November 12, the police raised concerns about the motive behind Faizan Khan issuing the threat to Shah Rukh Khan and then filing a missing complaint for his own phone, which was allegedly used to make the threat.
