In January 2022, a man referring to Siddiqui as his "sister" took hostages at the Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, near where she is imprisoned, and demanded her release.[222] Her only biological brother Muhammad Siddiqui has denied being the hostage taker through an attorney.[223] The attorney who currently represents Siddiqui said "she has absolutely no involvement with [the hostage crisis]" and added, "We strongly condemn the hostage-taking at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville [...] We implore the hostage taker to immediately release all hostages and turn himself in."[224]
