Mumbai: Shiv Kumar Gautam, the main accused in the murder case of Maharashtra politician Baba Siddique, was arrested from Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich on Sunday while he was trying to flee to Nepal.
Shiv Kumar, along with two other accused — Gurnail Singh, a resident of Haryana and Dhramraj Kashyap of Uttar Pradesh — shot dead Mr Siddique, 66, outside his politician son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai on October 12.
Investigations have revealed that the close proximity between Salman Khan and Baba Siddique could be the reason behind the minister’s brutal murder on October 12. Siddique, 66, was shot dead outside his son MLA Zeeshan Siddique’s office building in Bandra East, Mumbai. He sustained two bullet injuries on his chest and was rushed to the Lilavati hospital in Mumbai, where he passed away.
The fresh inputs were revealed by sources in the Mumbai Police and Uttar Pradesh STF following the arrest of wanted shooter Shivkumar from Uttar Pradesh.
