Baba Siddique Murder Case
Baba Siddique, a prominent NCP leader and former minister, was gunned down by three assailants on October 12, 2024, near his son’s office.
Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s younger brother Anmol, believed to be living in Canada, was allegedly behind the murder.
The three shooters were identified as- Gurmail Singh, a native of Haryana, Dharamraj Kashyap from Uttar Pradesh and Shiv Kumar Gautam alias Shiva, the main assailant who allegedly shot dead former Maharashtra minister, who were later held by the Police.
As per the investigation, Shiv reportedly had revealed that the NCP leader was killed due to his “close connections” with fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and Bollywood actor Salman Khan.
Earlier, a special court in January issued a non-bailable warrant against Anmol Bishnoi and two others wanted accused in the murder case.
