Baba Siddique, a strongman known for his political acumen and role in bridging the divide between Bollywood's biggest stars, was shot dead last night. Mr Siddique, 66, a former MLA from Bandra West and a prominent figure in Maharashtra's political circles, was gunned down outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East.
The incident, which unfolded around 9:30 pm, saw Mr Siddique and his associate targeted by assailants who fired multiple rounds, fatally striking the politician in the chest. Hours after the shooting, the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the assassination.
