According to a report published in News 18, the shooters had made advance preparations and tracked Siddique’s whereabouts for over two months. The police source has further revealed that they are probing the ‘contract killing’ angle as the unidentified mastermind in the case paid killers to attack without warning.
In addition to this, the three accused were paid Rs 50,000, as per police sources, whereas they received their weapons through a prepaid courier a few days before the shooting.
Meanwhile, dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang member is said to have taken responsibility for the unfortunate incident. A Facebook post that has gone viral on the internet claimed that the politician was killed because of his close ties with Salman Khan and underworld figures Dawood Ibrahim and Anuj Thapan.
In the post, the gang member noted that his actions were right in honor of his "duty of friendship." "Salman Khan, we did not want this war but you made our brother lose his life. Today the pool of decency of Baba Siddique is closed or at one time he was under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) with Dawood. The reason for his death was his links to Dawood and Anuj Thapan in Bollywood, politics, and property dealings," the post mentioned in India Today.
According to an official post shared by Zeeshan Siddique, the late politician’s last rites will be carried out today, October 13, 2024, at 7 p.m. in Mumbai.
