Zeeshan Siddique Criticizes ‘Casual’ Probe Into Father’s Killing, Signals High Court Move

He says investigators have shown little progress a year later despite a voluminous MCOCA case.

Overview

  • After meeting DCP Crime Branch Raj Tilak Roshan, Zeeshan Siddique alleged procedural delays and a dismissive tone in police updates.
  • His lawyer, Pradeep Gharat, said they filed an appeal after an unsatisfactory RTI reply and may petition the Bombay High Court if lapses persist.
  • Police say they have arrested more than two dozen people and submitted a 4,500-plus-page chargesheet under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.
  • The chargesheet names 26 arrested accused and lists Anmol Bishnoi, Shubham Lonkar and Yasin Akhtar as wanted.
  • According to police, Anmol Bishnoi allegedly contracted Zeeshan Akhtar and Shubham Lonkar for the killing, and Akhtar was apprehended in Canada a few months ago.
