NCP leader Baba Siddique's murder linked to Dawood Ibrahim, shooter claims; suspect arrested in connection with Delhi gym owner's killing.
NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was killed in Mumbai recently, was not a good man and had connections with India's most-wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim, a shooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed after he was arrested in Mathura in Uttar Pradesh.
Yogesh alias Raju (26) is associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi-Hashim Baba gangs. He has been arrested in connection with last month's killing of gym owner Nadir Shah in Delhi's Greater Kailash area. He is not linked with Siddique's killing on October 12.

Raju was arrested after he suffered injuries in an encounter with a joint team of the Delhi Police's Special Cell and the Mathura Police on Thursday morning. Police seized a .32-bore pistol, ammunition and a motorcycle from his possession.
After being shot in the leg, Raju was taken to the district hospital. He spoke about Siddique while talking to reporters at the hospital on Thursday.
"Baba Siddique was killed because he was not a good man. There were charges against him under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). It is said that he was associated with Dawood, the man behind the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts.
"When people get involved with such individuals, something is bound to happen. This is exactly what happened to Siddique," Raju claimed.
