A Pakistan connection has emerged in the Baba Siddiqui murder case, as it was revealed that the weapons used were smuggled in via drones. Maharashtra leader Baba Siddiqui was killed on October 12, and since then, the Mumbai Crime Branch has been investigating the case from all angles. Sources within the Crime Branch indicate that four pistols were used in the attack—three of them foreign-made and one locally produced. These weapons were reportedly sent from Pakistan to India through drones.
Recently, NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Baba Siddiqui was assassinated in Maharashtra. Investigations into the Baba Siddiqui shootout case have now revealed a Pakistan connection. According to sources in the Mumbai Crime Branch, weapons used in the attack were allegedly sent from Pakistan to India via drones. Among the firearms recovered were three foreign pistols—an Australian Glock, a Turkish-made Zigana, and an Australian-made Beretta—as well as one locally made pistol.
The Crime Branch, which is investigating the case, has further revealed that the three foreign pistols were smuggled into India’s border areas via drones and then transported to Mumbai by handlers.
How did the weapons reach India? After the weapons arrived in India through handlers, they were used in the attack on Baba Siddiqui. His murder raises questions about how foreign pistols, which are banned in India, managed to enter the country. The Crime Branch suspects that these weapons were transported via drones across the Rajasthan or Punjab borders from Pakistan. There is suspicion that either local Pakistani gangs or possibly the ISI were involved in sending these weapons to the Bishnoi gang. Capturing key suspects Zeeshan and Shubham, who are currently on the run, is critical to the investigation. Mumbai Police have also shared images of these pistols with authorities in Rajasthan and Punjab to help identify any known history-sheeters involved in similar activities.
Drone-delivered weapons Police in these states have confirmed that drones are typically used for smuggling such weapons across the border, as other routes are limited. Law enforcement is currently questioning individuals involved in similar cases and suspects arrested in connection with Baba Siddiqui’s murder. The key questions remain: who ordered the weapons to be sent across the border, who carried out the order, and what was the motive behind the murder? The search for arms traffickers like Shubham Lokar and Zeeshan Akhtar is ongoing, with another suspect recently apprehended in Ludhiana. So far, a total of 15 people have been arrested in connection with the case.
How was Baba Siddiqui murdered? Maharashtra leader Baba Siddiqui was murdered on October 12. The attack occurred when he left his son Zeeshan Siddiqui’s office late at night and headed home. He was shot and rushed to the hospital but did not survive. Following his death, Mumbai Police have been investigating the case from every angle.
