The murder of Baba Siddiqui prompts police to arrest three suspects, while one remains at large. Authorities apprehend Gurmel from Haryana and Dharmaraj from Uttar Pradesh, along with a 28-year-old named Pravin Lonkar. Police continue their search for the fugitive, Shiva.
The Mumbai court places Gurmel under a 7-day police remand. Dharmaraj claims to be a minor, but an inspection report confirms his age. Following this revelation, the court remands him to police custody until October 21.
Yesterday evening, the community conducts the last rites for former Maharashtra minister and senior NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, honoring him with national respect at Bada Sabaristan in Mumbai. Prominent figures, including NCP leaders Prafulla Patel, Chhagan Bhujbal, and Ajit Pawar, attend the ceremony, along with actor Salman Khan.
The procession becomes the largest gathering of the Muslim community in Mumbai, with crowds filling the streets to pay their final respects. People offer Namaz outside Siddiqui’s residence as his mortal remains make their way to Bada Sabaristan.
