Zeeshan Siddiqui's First Reaction On Father Baba Siddiqui's Death: 'I Need Justice, Death Must Not Be Politicised'

Baba Siddiqui Death: Zeeshan Siddiqui, who is an MLA from Vandre East in Mumbai, said his father lost his life protecting and saving the lives and homes of poor innocent people.

Zeeshan Siddiqui, the son of murdered NCP leader Baba Siddique, on Thursday demanded justice for his father's death and said that the matter should not be politicised.

Siddiqui, who is an MLA from Vandre East in Mumbai, said his father lost his life protecting and saving the lives and homes of poor innocent people. He further said that his family is broken following Baba Siddiqui's death and added that the death must not go in vain.

"My father lost his life protecting and saving the lives and homes of poor innocent people. Today, my family is broken but his death must not be politicised and definitely not go in vain. I NEED JUSTICE, MY FAMILY NEEDS JUSTICE!" Zeeshan Sidiqui said in a tweet on Thursday.

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.
