The Mumbai Police have arrested five individuals in connection with the murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique. The arrested individuals, identified as Nitin Gautam Sapre, Sambhaji Kisan Pardhi, Pradeep Dattu Thombre, Chetan Dilip Pardhi, and Ram Fulchand Kanoujia, allegedly provided logistical support and firearms to the shooters.
According to police, the module led by Sapre initially demanded ₹50 lakh to carry out the assassination but backed out due to disagreements over payment. However, they continued to provide support to the new shooters. Three key suspects, including the primary shooter Shivkumar Gautam, remain at large.
