Baba Siddique Murder Case. Murder of Baba Siddique: Rohit Godara, a close aide to Lawrence Bishnoi, had previously declared that Salman Khan’s allies were their enemies. According to authorities, the two suspects detained in connection with the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique have declared their membership in the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Police have not confirmed this report, and the gang has not acknowledged being involved in the murder that raised security worries prior to the Maharashtra state elections.
Last night, Baba Siddique, 66, a well-known politician from the Nationalist Congress Party’s Ajit Pawar group and a former three-time MLA from Bandra West, was shot and killed in Bandra.
Near his son’s office, Mr. Siddique was shot at least six times; four of those bullets struck him in the chest. Four special teams have been established by police to look into the case since they believe it to be a contract killing.Three persons were involved in the Dussehra celebration-coinciding shooting. Three males are still at large; two, Haryana’s Gurmail Baljit Singh, 23, and Uttar Pradesh’s Dharamraj Kashyap, 19, have been taken into custody. However, police think that someone else was giving them information about where Mr. Siddique was.
According to sources, the two detained suspects stated they had been scouting the Bandra East shooting location for about a month during their questioning by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch.
According to the authorities in the criminal section, the three suspects got there in an auto rickshaw last night and waited there before the shooting started.
The police are looking at the issue from two different perspectives: one is connected to the Bishnoi gang, and the other is about a case of slum redevelopment.
Because of Mr. Siddique’s close relationship to Bollywood actor Salman Khan—who had received threats from Lawrence Bishnoi—there is suspicion that the Bishnoi gang is involved. According to people close to the victim, he was granted security cover under the “Y” category after receiving a death threat fifteen days prior.
However, the police claim that Mr. Siddique did not report receiving any threats.
Lawrence Bishnoi and Involvement in Murder
Case of Baba Siddique’s murder: Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who lives in Punjab, was also implicated in the murder of Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala. Who is the known target of the gang and what are his origins? Veteran Maharashtra politician and leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Baba Siddique, 66, was shot and killed on Saturday night (October 12).
He has a long history with the Indian National Congress (INC), and from 2004 to 2008, he was a state minister in the Congress-NCP administration. Siddique was also well-known for frequently hanging out with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, two of Bollywood’s biggest stars. Mumbai police confirmed that the three shooters involved in Siddique’s killing were linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Here is what to know about the group and its criminal operations.
Lawrence Bishnoi
The 31-year-old Lawrence Bishnoi is the son of a prosperous farmer from the Ferozepur district of Punjab’s Dhattaranwali hamlet. He is a member of the Bishnoi community, which has settlers in numerous areas of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana.
After completing his studies up to Class 12, Bishnoi moved to Chandigarh in 2010 to continue his college studies. After enrolling in DAV College, he was involved in student politics and served as president of the Panjab University (SOPU) Student Organization from 2011 to 2012.
Eventually, Jaswinder Singh, well known as Rocky, a former criminal from Punjab’s Fazilka who is now a politician, joined his organization. Under the guise of student politics, the gang continued to operate in other places in Rajasthan, including Sri Ganganagar, which is situated on the border between Rajasthan and Punjab, and Bharatpur. In May 2016, Rocky—who also had a criminal past—was killed in the Himachal Pradesh town of Parwanoo. Jaipal Bhullar, a well-known mobster, admitted to being the murderer. In June 2020, Bhullar was later shot and killed in Kolkata.
