A senior police official said they are investigating when the accused came to Mumbai, where they were living and who harboured and financed them.
Baba Siddique only had non-categorised security and three policemen had been assigned to him for his protection, the Mumbai Police said on Sunday, a day after the former Maharashtra minister was shot dead outside the office of his son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique, in Bandra East.
Addressing a press conference, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Datta Nalawade also said one of the police personnel was with Siddique, who is a member of the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP, when he was shot around 9.30 pm on Saturday.
"A case was registered and the investigation was handed over to the Crime Branch. After the firing, police personnel at the spot showed courage and arrested two accused while one managed to escape. We have got the custody of one of the accused till October 21. Two pistols and 28 rounds have been recovered," the police officer said.
