Use a subquery:

SELECT * 
FROM TableName
WHERE Employee_ID=(SELECT Employee_ID 
                   FROM TableName 
                   WHERE id=5)

Result:

id  company_ID  Employee_ID Name        Relationship    Dob                         Age  Gender
5   EMPL        2           Siddharth   Son             June, 01 2000 00:00:00      15  Male
6   EMPL        2           Poongavanam Mother          October, 21 2039 00:00:00   76  Female
7   EMPL        2           Aruna       Spouse          September, 16 1968 00:00:00 47  Female
8   EMPL        2           Abirami     Daughter        May, 07 1997 00:00:00       18  Female
9   EMPL        2           Murali      Employee        October, 07 1967 00:00:00   48  Male

You can try this query -

SELECT * 
FROM `tablename`
WHERE `employee_id` = (SELECT `employee_id` 
                         FROM `tablename`  
                         WHERE `id` = 5)
