Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai, allegedly orchestrated by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with intricate planning by key figures including the Lonkar brothers. Pravin Lonkar is in police custody, while his brother Shubham remains at large. The motive for the killing may be linked to Siddique's past property disputes, his ties with actor Salman Khan, or could be a broader criminal conspiracy. The incident has sparked political tensions, with the opposition criticizing the government's failure to protect Siddique despite earlier threats. A police investigation is ongoing to uncover the truth behind the contract killing, with several suspects still at large.
