MLA Zeeshan Siddique Meets Mumbai Police Officers Days After Baba Siddique’s Murder

Mumbai: MLA Zeeshan Siddique met with senior police officers on Wednesday, four days after his father, NCP politician Baba Siddique, was allegedly shot dead by three gunmen. He was believed to have provided some information during the meeting.

As per the officials, Zeeshan, who represents the Bandra (East) assembly constituency, arrived at the Mumbai Police Commissioner's office around 5 p.m.

While police continue to investigate the motive behind the shocking murder, they have yet to record Zeeshan's statement.

"Senior officers and Zeeshan discussed the investigation. He shared some information in his possession," a police official said. Zeeshan left the commissioner's office after approximately 45 minutes.

Former Congress leader Baba Siddique, 66, was killed near Zeeshan's office on Saturday night.

So far, the crime branch has arrested four individuals and is probing various angles, including the possibility of a contract killing, a property dispute, or old rivalries, according to the police.

Baba Siddique was known for his connections with several Bollywood stars, including Salman Khan, who has previously received threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang.

Police have expanded their search for the main shooter, identified as Shivkumar Gautam, along with two others, Mohd Zeeshan Akhtar and Shubham Lonkar, whose names surfaced during the interrogation of the suspects in custody.
