Baba Siddique Murder: Allegations Link Crime to Slum Redevelopment Disputes
Zeeshan Siddique claims his father's stance on slum dwellers' rights clashed with developers and politicians, raising questions about motives behind the killing.
- Zeeshan Siddique, son of slain NCP leader Baba Siddique, alleges the Bandra slum redevelopment project played a central role in his father's murder.
- He named BJP leader Mohit Kamboj, Shiv Sena MLA Anil Parab, and multiple builders as being involved in redevelopment disputes with his father.
- The chargesheet filed by Mumbai police attributes the murder to a conspiracy led by gangster Anmol Bishnoi, with no mention of Zeeshan's redevelopment-related allegations.
- The chargesheet reveals foreign funding, with ₹5 lakh transferred via hawala from Portugal, and details the recruitment and preparation of shooters for the crime.
- Confessions from the alleged shooters suggest they were motivated by promises of financial rewards and claims linking Siddique to underworld figures like Dawood Ibrahim.
