Baba Siddique Murder Case
Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar, was killed after being shot by three individuals in Bandra East, Mumbai, on October 12 evening.
The 66-year-old politician was shot in the chest after which he was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he succumbed to the injuries. The leader had received a death threat just 15 days ago and was under ‘Y’ category security.
So far, the police arrested 15 accused in the case and are still searching for alleged masterminds Gautam, Zeeshan Akhtar, and Shubham Lonkar. The key shooter, Shivkumar Gautam, is also absconding. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch initiated the process for the extradition of Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, in connection with the case.
