Baba Siddique was brutally assassinated on October 12, 2024. As per reports, the politician was killed when the fireworks during Dussehra were going on. The reason behind Baba Siddique's death is not known yet. As Baba Siddique was close to Salman Khan, questions were rife as to whether it was the reason that Lawrence Bishnoi's gang brutally killed Baba Siddique. Now, according to the officials, the assassination of Baba Siddique was committed by three to four culprits who were linked to the Bishnoi gang. As per reports, it was a contract murder.
As per a report by Free Press Journal, the officials have revealed that the culprits who were caught accepted that they were connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang during the investigation. The murderers claimed that they arrived in Mumbai 25-30 days before the murder was committed, and they kept tracking Baba Siddique. The names of the shooters who were caught are Gurmail Baljit Singh and Dharmaraj Rajesh. It's suspected that four culprits were involved in this crime, and two are currently on the run.
The suspects were staying in a rented house in Kurla since September 2, 2024, and the weapons were sent to them through a courier agent. As per the report, the conspirator had made a deal of Rs. 2.5-3 lakhs, with a divided amount of Rs. 50,000 for four culprits, excluding other accommodations. The three culprits were previously in Punjab jail, where they came in contact with a member of the Bishnoi gang. As per the report, the gang's influence and association were behind the assassination of Baba Siddique.
A few months ago, the firing incident in Salman Khan's Galaxy apartment had similar planning as Baba Siddiquei's murder, including how the murders were keeping track of the politician and arrived in Mumbai a month ahead of the incident taking place. Currently, the officials suspect that Baba Siddique's murder may be connected to Salman Khan.
For the unversed, Lawrence Bishnoi's gang had threatened Salman for several reasons. While the actor had a close bond with Baba Siddique, and the late politician often supported the actor. It's also being said that Baba Siddique received a threat call a few days ago, where he was told to increase his security.
