Baba Siddique Shot Dead: NCP Ajit Pawar faction leader Baba Siddiqui has been shot dead in Mumbai. Baba Siddiqui was shot dead by unknown assailants on Saturday (12 October). After this, he was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in an injured condition, but he died there. NCP leader and former minister Baba Siddiqui was going to the office of MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui near Kherwadi signal when three unknown people shot him dead.
Nirmal Nagar police have detained two people in this case. One of the accused is from Haryana and the other from Uttar Pradesh. Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis reached Lilavati Hospital. Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the incident. Baba Siddiqui was active in politics for the last three-four decades. He remained in the Congress Party for most of his political career. A few months ago he had joined Ajit Pawar’s group.
Is the sound of bullets drowned in the noise of firecrackers?
Baba Siddiqui was shot three times, hence the question arises why no one came to know about the firing. Actually Baba Siddiqui was burning firecrackers outside the office of his son and MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui. According to the report of News 18, due to the presence of a temple nearby, the noise of its procession was also coming. Firecrackers were also being burnt in this procession. Amidst this noise, no one heard the sound of bullets being fired on Baba Siddiqui.
Baba Siddiqui left the office between 9.15. Baba Siddiqui was bursting crackers near his office when the firing took place. While bursting crackers suddenly three people came out of the car. These three people had come with handkerchiefs tied on their faces. After this he fired three rounds at Baba Siddiqui. Baba Siddiqui was immediately taken to the hospital, where he breathed his last.
Mumbai Congress paid tribute
Before joining NCP, Baba Siddiqui was a Congress leader for a long time. After his death, Mumbai Congress has paid tribute to Baba Siddiqui through its official ‘X’ account. It said, “Mumbai Congress is saddened by the demise of Baba Siddiqui. His tireless work and service to the people will always be remembered. Our condolences to his family in this difficult time.
