THE MURDER OF former minister and Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar) leader Baba Ziauddin Siddique, known popularly as Baba Siddique, has shocked not just the political establishment and movie stars he was associated with, but also the common people of Mumbai as such a gangland operation with a high-profile target belonged to a bygone era of underworld violence.
Siddique, 66, was gunned down on the night of Dussehra (October 12) outside the Bandra East office of his legislator son Zeeshan. As people were bursting firecrackers, three assailants emerged from the crowd, neutralised the three-time former MLA’s personal security officer and opened fire from close range.
The news about the attack stunned political and cinema circles as Siddique was well liked by the film industry. Two of the three assailants—Gurmail Singh and Dharmaraj Kashyap—were arrested, while the third, Shivkumar Gautam, managed to escape in the confusion after the shooting.
