Mumbai: Zeeshan Siddique, son of slain NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, has issued a heartfelt statement regarding his father’s tragic murder. He emphasized that his father dedicated his life to protecting the poor and innocent. “My family is broken, but his death must not be politicised and definitely not go in vain. I need justice, my family needs justice,” Zeeshan stated on X.
Baba Siddique was shot dead on October 12 by three assailants while returning from Zeeshan’s office in Bandra (East). Authorities have arrested several individuals linked to the crime, including shooters Gurmail Singh and Dharmaraj Kashyap, and co-conspirators Pravin Lonkar and Harishkumar Nishad.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar urged that the murder should not be politicised and reassured the public that the state government is committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
