About Baba Siddique’s murder 

Last week, Baba Siddique, aged 66, was shot and killed by three assailants in the Nirmal Nagar area of Mumbai, just outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office. Despite being rushed to Lilavati Hospital, Siddique was pronounced dead upon arrival. His funeral took place on Sunday.
