'Can't Believe': Ajit Pawar Says 5 Teams Sent to Different States to Nab 3rd Shooter of Siddique
Pawar met with the family and revealed that five teams have been dispatched to different states to apprehend the third shooter involved in Siddique's murder
Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar visited Cooper Hospital, where the body of the deceased NCP leader and former minister Baba Siddique was shifted for a post-mortem. Pawar met with the family and revealed that five teams have been dispatched to different states to apprehend the third shooter involved in Siddique's murder.
Speaking about the incident, Ajit Pawar expressed his disbelief, saying, "I cannot believe what happened yesterday in Mumbai. Baba Siddique was a long-serving leader, having been a part of Congress and serving three terms as an MLA. He also held a ministerial position. The police acted swiftly, and two suspects have already been arrested. Five teams have been formed and sent to other states to track down the remaining suspect. The Chief Minister, Home Minister, and I are closely monitoring the situation. I am confident that we will know who orchestrated this murder and who is behind it within 2-3 days."
He added, "At 8:30 PM today, a funeral with full state honors will take place at Bada Qabrastan in Mumbai. While the opposition may criticize the government, our responsibility is to maintain law and order. The Deputy Chief Minister has personally visited, and both he and the Chief Minister have assured us that we will soon uncover everyone involved in this tragic incident."
