Heartbreaking Moment: Zeeshan Siddique Breaks Down Inconsolably at Father's Funeral

Mumbai: Baba Siddique's son Zeeshan Siddique broke down at the last rites of Baba Siddique when mortal remains of Baba Siddique were taken from residence in Bandra for a funeral. He was really close with his father, Baba Siddique.

Zeeshan is the youngest MLA of Maharashtra from Bandra East, Mumbai. Zeeshan started crying while Namaz-e-janaza was offered outside the residence of Baba Siddique in Bandra. 

His mortal remains are being taken for last rites, which will be performed with full state honour at Bada Qabrastan, in Mumbai.

Baba Siddique Shot Dead Last Night

Police have arrested two of the alleged assailants, identified as Haryana resident Gurmail Baljit Singh (23) and Uttar Pradesh native Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19), while third accused is on the run. 

Sixty-six-year-old Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister who joined the Ajit Pawar -led NCP in February this year after quitting the Congress , was waylaid by three men at Kher Nagar in Mumbai's Bandra area just outside his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique's office and shot dead on Saturday night.

Baba Siddique Murder Case

The Mumbai police have launched a probe into the murder from different angles, including a possible contract killing, business rivalry or threat over a slum rehabilitation project, officials said.

The murder of the NCP leader, who represented Bandra (West) seat three times in the assembly, is suspected to be a pre-planned act, a police official said.

Chief Minister Shinde said the incident is deeply regrettable. "We have directed the police to ensure no one takes law into their hands under any circumstances. We cannot allow any form of gang war to resurface in our city." A prominent Muslim leader from Mumbai who had earned praise for supplying life-saving medicines to patients during the Covid pandemic, Siddique was also known to be close to several Bollywood stars.
