Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|January 28, 2025
Gangster Anmol Bishnoi ordered the hit on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique for his "association with Dawood Ibrahim and involvement in the 1993 Bombay blasts", alleged main shooter Shivkumar Gautam in his confessional statement to the police.
MUMBAI:
Gautam's confessional statement is part of the charge sheet filed in connection with the October 12 murder of the former Maharashtra minister. Siddique (66) was shot dead by three assailants outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Mumbai's Bandra East area.
Gautam also alleged he was instructed to kill Baba Siddique or Zeeshan Siddique and was promised ₹15 lakh to carry out the crime. He has told police he used to collect scrap in Pune and would sell the items to co-accused Harish Kumar Kashyap.
