Murder of Indian Politician Baba Siddique Spurs Security Debate

The shooting of Baba Siddique, a former minister, has triggered scrutiny over security measures in Maharashtra as the state prepares for upcoming elections.


In a high-profile incident, Indian politician Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai, sparking a debate over security lapses. Siddique, a former minister in Maharashtra, was targeted while near his son's office. The state is heading towards legislative elections next month. Following his switch from Congress to the National Congress Party earlier in the year, Siddique became a member of the ruling coalition. Two suspects have been arrested but the motive remains unclear, prompting criticism and calls for a thorough investigation. Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious criminal linked to several murder cases, is speculated to be connected to the suspects in police custody. This incident has intensified the scrutiny on security provisions, especially during the city's ongoing major Hindu festival.
