The murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP – Ajit Pawar faction) leader and former minister Baba Siddiqui remains clouded in mystery, with the motive still unclear. While multiple theories are circulating, police are thoroughly investigating all possible angles. So far, three key theories have emerged.
According to senior officials, the Bishnoi syndicate is suspected of orchestrating this high-profile assassination to establish a reign of terror and pave the way for future extortion operations. By targeting Baba Siddique an influential figure with deep connections in both Bollywood and the real estate industry the gang aimed to send shockwaves across these sectors. The assassination is viewed as a calculated move to intimidate key figures and create an atmosphere of fear, thus amplifying the gang’s influence.
Additionally, officials are considering the possibility that the murder may be tied to unresolved business rivalries, which remain unclear, and are also exploring a potential connection to a pending Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project that could have been a factor in the crime.
On Sunday, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the killing in a Facebook post made by a gang member.
