NCP leader Baba Siddiqui murder: Key details about the attackers
Mumbai: Mumbai Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui. The suspects, Gurmail Baljit Singh (23) from Haryana, Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19) from Uttar Pradesh, and Pravin Lonkar (29) from Pune, are linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This group has previously issued threats to Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Gurmail and Dharmaraj allegedly opened fire on Siddiqui during the attack.
The murder took place on Saturday when the assailants, taking advantage of the sound of firecrackers, shot at Siddiqui. He was immediately taken to Lilavati Hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
According to police, the conspiracy was devised in Patiala jail with help from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, naming Mohammad Zeeshan Akhtar as a key conspirator. One of the suspects, Pravin Lonkar, was arrested after his brother, Shubham, posted on social media claiming responsibility for the murder, though he later deleted the post.
Police are still searching for other individuals involved, including Shivkumar Gautam, another shooter who remains absconding. Gurmail Singh has a criminal record, having been arrested in a previous murder case in 2019 but later released on bail. His family claims to have disowned him more than a decade ago.
Dharmaraj Kashyap's family expressed shock at his involvement, stating that he had left home two months ago to work at a scrapyard in Pune, and they had no knowledge of his activities since then.
