Baba Siddique LIVE: Cops Confirm 'Contract Killing' In Baba Siddique's Murder | India

Baba Siddique, former Maharashtra minister and a leader of Ajit Pawar's NCP, was shot dead by three men in Mumbai on Saturday evening. The 66-year-old politician was shot in the stomach and chest. He was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he died of his injuries. Two people, identified as Karnail Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap, have been arrested by the police in connection with the attack. The incident occurred around 9.30 pm near Ram Mandir, close to the NCP leader's office. As Siddique was bursting firecrackers on the occasion of Dussehra, three men emerged from a vehicle, their faces covered with handkerchiefs. They opened fire with a 9.9 mm pistol, firing three rounds, one of which struck Siddiqui in the chest, causing him to collapse on the spot. One of the bullets cracked the windshield of Baba Siddique's vehicle, confirming that multiple shots were fired. Police also recovered three bullet casings from the scene, according to another video that surfaced online. #babasiddiqui #babasiddique #babasiddiquishotdead #Wncp #maharashtra #maharashtranews #live #indiatoday #indiatodaylive Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
