Murder of Baba Siddique: Snapchat Evidence and Connections to Lawrence Bishnoi's Family
Murder of Baba Siddique: In a major revelation in the murder case of NCP leader and former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique, it has been found that the suspected shooters were in contact with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi. According to reports from the Mumbai Crime Branch, the communication between the shooters and Anmol happened via Snapchat just moments before the assassination.
Anmol Bishnoi, currently residing in Canada and America, used Snapchat to instruct the shooters, who would delete the messages immediately after receiving them. The authorities have seized four mobile phones from the accused, which have been crucial in the investigation.
Details of the Arrests
So far, ten people have been arrested in connection with the murder, including two suspected shooters and a weapon supplier. However, the main shooter, Shivkumar Gautam, and a few others involved in the crime are still absconding.
The use of Snapchat has been a critical element in the investigation, as the shooters communicated through this app, deleting instructions instantly after receiving them. Upon examining the arrested suspects' devices, it was revealed that they were in direct contact with Anmol Bishnoi.
The Murder of Baba Siddique
On October 12, NCP leader Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. Shortly after, Lawrence Bishnoi's gang claimed responsibility for the murder. Siddique had close ties with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who has also been targeted by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang due to his involvement in the Black Buck poaching case.
Days after the murder, the Bishnoi gang openly threatened to kill Salman Khan, raising concerns for the actor's safety.
Shooter’s Practice Sessions
In another startling update, Mumbai Police revealed that the shooters had undergone at least five practice sessions before executing the assassination. These sessions took place in a forest area along the Karjat-Khopoli Road. The shooters practised by targeting trees in a secluded spot near Palasadari village, close to a waterfall, ensuring they were prepared for the attack.
Ongoing Investigation
The Mumbai Police continue to investigate both the murder of Baba Siddique and the threats against Salman Khan. The involvement of Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang in these high-profile cases has raised significant concerns about the growing influence of organized crime.
