Baba Siddique Murdered: CM Eknath Shinde Assures Strict Action
Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and member of the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP, has died after being shot at in Mumbai's Bandra.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said he had spoken to police and doctors at the hospital. "The incident is extremely unfortunate. There are reports that he (Mr Siddique) has died. Two people have been arrested, one from Uttar Pradesh and one from Haryana, while another is on the run. I have asked the police to take strict action and ensure no one takes law and order into their hands. A gang-war-like situation should not be allowed to resurface in Mumbai," he said in Marathi.
