The murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique was a meticulously planned operation orchestrated by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with the plot hatched three months prior in Pune. Pravin and Shubham Lonkar provided financial and logistical support to the shooters, who were paid Rs 50,000 each as an advance, and conducted surveillance to ensure the operation's success. Baba Siddique was shot outside his son's office in Mumbai. Police have arrested four individuals, including Harishkumar Balakram, a scrap dealer involved in the conspiracy, while others, like Shivkumar Gautam, remain at large. The motive behind the murder is believed to be a demonstration of power by Bishnoi to rival dons, including Dawood Ibrahim. Mumbai police continue to investigate the broader implications of the murder and the gang's operations, which are suspected to be orchestrated by Bishnoi from jail using sophisticated communication methods.
