Zeeshan Siddique on Wednesday met senior police officers regarding his father's death and is believed to have shared some information with them.

Zeeshan, who represents Bandra (east) assembly constituency, reached the Mumbai Police Commissioner's office at around 5 pm. Police, trying to unravel the motive behind the sensational killing, are yet to record the statement of Zeeshan.

Former Congress leader, Baba Siddique (66) was shot dead near Zeeshan Siddique's office on Saturday night. The crime branch has so far arrested four persons and is investigating various angles like possible contract killing, property dispute, old rivalry among others, police said.

The Siddique senior was close to several Bollywood biggies including Salman Khan, who had received threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the past.

Police have widened the dragnet for the main shooter, identified as Shivkumar Gautam, and other persons, namely Mohd Zeeshan Akhtar and Shubham Lonkar whose names cropped up during interrogation of the accused in custody.
