Mumbai: In a significant development in the Baba Siddique murder case, Akashdeep Gill, arrested from Fazilka, Punjab, revealed during interrogation that he communicated with key conspirators using a labourer's mobile hotspot to avoid police detection.
During interrogation, Gill admitted to using the hotspot of a labourer named Balwinder, allowing him to appear offline and avoid tracking.
The Crime Branch is currently searching for Gill's mobile phone, which may hold vital evidence related to the case.
Gill hails from Pacca Chisti village in Punjab's Fazilka district. The 22-year-old was held by the Mumbai Crime Branch in coordination with the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of the northern state.
The Congress-turned-NCP leader was shot dead on October 12 near his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East's Nirmal Nagar area.

Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
