Baba Siddique's Death Shocks Politics and Bollywood

Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and prominent NCP leader, was tragically shot dead on October 12, 2024, outside his son Zeeshan's office in Mumbai. Known for his significant political influence and close ties with Bollywood, Siddique was particularly famous for his lavish Iftar parties, which famously ended the long-standing feud between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in 2013. The murder, suspected to be linked to a gang, has led to the arrest of two suspects, with investigations ongoing to determine the exact motive. Siddique's sudden death has sent shockwaves across political and entertainment sectors, prompting heartfelt tributes from celebrities like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, who rushed to support the grieving family. Siddique's political journey began with the Congress, where he served as an MLA for Bandra West, before joining the NCP earlier this year. His legacy is carried on by his son Zeeshan Siddique, a current MLA in Mumbai.
