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.
