The Mumbai Crime Branch is actively investigating a high-profile murder case, initially registered at Nirmal Nagar Police Station as CR No. 589/2024 and later re-registered as DCB CID CR No. 86/2024. The case involves multiple charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Sections 103(1), 109, 125, and 3(5), along with provisions of the Arms Act (Sections 3, 5, 25, and 27) and the Maharashtra Police Act (Sections 37 and 135).


This investigation pertains to the murder of Baba Siddique. So far, 26 accused have been arrested in connection with the case. However, three individuals—Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar, Zishan Mohammad Akhtar, and Anmol Bishnoi—remain at large and are being actively pursued by law enforcement.


In a significant development, the provisions of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999 (MCOCA), have been invoked in the case as of today. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to uncover details surrounding the incident.
