In a tragic turn of events, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai’s Bandra East on Saturday evening. Siddique, who sustained multiple injuries, was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The case has now been transferred to the Crime Branch, which is actively investigating the incident. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, expressing his grief over the incident, stated that two suspects have been arrested so far.
One of the arrested individuals is from Uttar Pradesh, and the other hails from Haryana. However, the third suspect is still at large, and the police have intensified their search efforts to bring him to justice.
“The police have been instructed to take all necessary measures to maintain law and order in the city during this difficult time. We are committed to ensuring swift justice and will not tolerate such actions in our state,” Shinde remarked.
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the political community and raised concerns about the safety of prominent figures. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement officials are urging the public to remain calm as they work to resolve the case and apprehend the remaining suspect.
