Zeeshan Akhtar, alias Jasin, a key conspirator in the Baba Siddique murder case, is allegedly being disowned by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang—if a viral post is to be believed—as his name has surfaced in connection with a recent grenade attack in Jalandhar, targeting the residence of BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia. According to the Punjab Police, Akhtar, along with Pakistan-based gangster Shehzad Bhatti, was behind the attack.

Sources revealed that Bhatti is a known aide of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. This is the second time Akhtar’s name has been linked with Bhatti. In February this year, Akhtar released a video from an undisclosed foreign location, claiming that he was falsely implicated in the Siddique murder case and had received help from Bhatti. The Punjab police have claimed that he is either in Azerbaijan or Europe. However, the sources in the Mumbai Crime Branch have revealed that he is hiding in Nepal.
