Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar expressed disbelief over Baba Siddique`s death. Siddique, a three-time MLA and former minister, had dedicated years to public service in the city and previously belonged to Congress. Pawar confirmed that the police swiftly initiated an investigation, leading to the arrest of two suspects. He noted that five investigative teams have been dispatched to various states to uncover the details surrounding the case. The Deputy CM, along with the Chief Minister and Home Minister, is actively monitoring the situation. He anticipates that the identities of those behind the contract killing will be revealed within two to three days. A funeral with full state honors is scheduled for 8:30 PM at Bada Qabrastan in Mumbai. While acknowledging potential political blame from the opposition, Pawar emphasized the government`s commitment to maintaining law and order.
