In a disturbing development following the assassination of veteran politician Baba Siddique in Mumbai, sources reveal that his son, Zeeshan Siddique, may also be on the Bishnoi gang‘s hit list.
Police sources indicate that the apprehended shooters were contracted to eliminate both father and son, with instructions to target whichever they encountered first if unable to attack both simultaneously.
Baba Siddique’s son Zeeshan is on a hit list
Zeeshan Siddique, a Congress MLA from Vandre East who was recently expelled from the party, now faces a potential threat to his life. The murder of Baba Siddique was carried out by three shooters outside his son’s office, using chilli powder to incapacitate the assigned security.
Two suspects, Gurmail Baljit Singh and Dharmaraj Kashyap, have been arrested, while Shivkumar Gautam remains at large. Law enforcement has expanded its search to multiple states. A fourth accomplice, Shubuu Lonkar, believed to be associated with the Bishnoi gang, was arrested after claiming responsibility for the murder.
What probe has been uncovered?
Investigations have uncovered that the accused conducted daily reconnaissance in Bandra, travelling from their rented accommodation in Kurla, to monitor the movements and frequented locations of both Baba Siddique and his son.
This case highlights the ongoing threat of organized crime in Mumbai and the vulnerabilities faced by political figures, even those with security details.
