Shooters fell from bike during recce, then plan changed

The accused were in Mumbai for about 25 days. During this period, he used this bike several times for recce. This bike was to be used to murder Baba Siddiqui and then escape. But one day during recce, two shooters fell from the bike, hence they felt that there was a danger in carrying out the crime on bike, after which the plan of using bike was dropped and they came to shoot in auto. The crime branch has seized this bike.
Had brought one extra shirt each in the bag
On the day of the incident, the accused had brought an extra shirt each with them. The plan was to wear this shirt to change the identity after committing the murder.
