Zeeshan Akhtar, the main accused of the murder of the leader of the nationalist congress party (NCP), leader Baba Siddique, was arrested in Canada, Maharashtra Minister for Inner Affairs, Yogesh Kadam, Wednesday. According to sources of close investigation, a 22 -year -old man was arrested in connection with a false passport case.
“Zeeshan, who was involved in the murder of Baba Siddiiqui, was arrested in Canada. We started a process to bring him back to India. We will put it on (after we put it back),” Kadam said, emphasizing the office to speed up his extradition and deepen the probe.
Baba Siddique, former Minister of Maharahtra and prominent leader NCP, was 12 October 2024 fatally shot in the Bandra area in Mumbai. The highly profile assassination sent shock waves through the political landscape of Maharashtry, which led to a rapid and intensive police investigation. So far, the coercive authorities have so far arrested at least 25 individuals associated with the case, including key data that it was assumed to organize killing.
According to the Bombai police, the murder agreement was reportedly provided by Anmol Bishnoim, the brother of the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Udhan Akhtar and other accused, Shaubham Lonkar. Bishnoi gang was under intensive control for its involvement in various criminal activities, and this case further focused their alleged role in political assassinations.
The arrest of Akhtar in Canada means a significant breakthrough in the investigation, especially when it allegedly avoided Indian authorities using counterfeit travel documents. The fake passport case gave the police a key lead to watching it and detaining it abroad.
There is now an effort to ensure Uhan’s publication to India, where he will face interrogation and legal proceedings concerning murder. Government and police officials Maharashtra expressed their determination to put all conspirators to court and dismantle criminal networks for the assassination.
