Baba Siddique death: While the BJP has requested not to "politicise" the incident, Opposition leaders have slammed the ruling dispensation over what they describe as a "collapse of law and order."
After veteran NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead near his son's office in Mumbai's Bandra last night, a political slugfest has erupted over the killing between the ruling BJP and Opposition parties. While the BJP-led Maharashtra government has requested not to "politicise" the incident, Opposition leaders, notably from the Congress, have slammed the ruling dispensation over what they describe as a "collapse of law and order."
Mr Siddique, 66, a prominent political figure known for his three-time stint as an MLA from Bandra West, was gunned down by unknown attackers outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East last night. According to the police, Mr Siddique sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest, and died of his injuries at Lilavati Hospital later that night.
