As per the prosecution, Singh and Kashyap, as well as wanted accused Shivkumar Gautam, fired at Siddique (66), while Pravin Lonkar's brother Shubham is allegedly associated with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi
He and other wanted accused had conspired to carry out the shooting and had supplied arms to the gunmen, police said
