Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang claims responsibility for Baba Siddique’s death

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique.

The 66-year-old Siddique was shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai’s Bandra East on Saturday night.

Three suspects have been identified in connection with the crime. Gurmail Baljit Singh, 23, from Haryana, and Dharamraj Kashyap, 19, from Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested. The third suspect, Shiv Kumar Gautam, also from Uttar Pradesh, remains at large. Authorities are also searching for a fourth individual believed to be the handler behind the attack.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang is notorious for its violent activities, with one of its most high-profile targets being Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Khan has received multiple death threats from the gang, and several attempts have been made on his life. In 2018, a man was arrested for conspiring to kill Khan, with Bishnoi identified as the mastermind behind the plot.
