The Mumbai police crime branch on Monday filed a 4,590-page charge-sheet in connection with the murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ziauddin Abdul Rahim Siddique aka Baba Siddique in October 2024, stating that gangster Anmol Bishnoi carried out the killing to create an atmosphere of fear through his organised crime syndicate and "establish its supremacy" in Mumbai.

MUMBAI:

The charge-sheet was filed in a special court against 26 arrested accused and three absconding accused including Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi; Mohammed Yasin Akhtar aka Mohammed Jamil aka Kehi aka Jessi; and Pune resident Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar. The three absconding accused have been termed as key conspirators in the case.

Prior to Siddique's murder, Anmol Bishnoi had instructed one of the accused in the case to prepare a list of prominent builders/developers in Mumbai as the gang was planning to instill fear among businessmen so they could extort money easily, said a crime branch officer.
