Baba Siddiqui
Mumbai: Major information has come to light from police sources in the murder case of NCP Ajit Pawar faction leader Baba Siddiqui on Saturday night. This is a case of contract killing, in which the people who committed the murder were given Rs 2 lakh and a promise of more money was given after the incident.
What is the whole matter?
This is a case of betel nut killing. Since September 2, the accused was living in a rented room in Kurla. The accused were paying rent of Rs 14 thousand per month for this room. Four people together had taken contract to kill Baba Siddiqui. These people were paid Rs 50-50 thousand. These three people came in contact with each other while being lodged in the jail of Punjab. The three had come in contact with a member of the Bishnoi gang, who was already in jail.
The second person injured in the firing with Baba Siddiqui is Raj Nirmal. Baba Siddiqui had gone to a Garba program near Zeeshan’s office. After leaving that program, we went to Zeeshan’s office around 9 o’clock. Zeeshan was not in the office. They had left, so Baba stayed outside the office for a while and went towards his car, where he was attacked.
Shivkumar himself arranged the weapon
Zeeshan and Gurmel knew each other. The person who introduced these two to Shiv Kumar and Dharamraj Kashyap is someone else. Meaning, apart from Zeeshan and Shiv Kumar, the police is searching for this fifth person. Baba Siddiqui’s photographs were sent to these attackers. Classification test of Dharamraj Kashyap is going on. As soon as the police get the result of this test, it will be presented before the magistrate.
Baba Siddiqui was a popular face in Maharashtra politics. He left Congress and joined NCP (Ajit faction) this year. He was known for throwing grand Iftar parties, which were attended by big Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan. He remained in Congress for 48 years and was also a three-time MLA from Bandra West. He had also been the Minister of State in Maharashtra.
