Baba Siddiques '2+1' Security Team To Be Questioned By Crime Branch

The Crime Branch of Mumbai Police will record statements of Baba Siddique's security personnel again, as part of the investigation.

A week after former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique's murder, the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police will record statements of his security personnel again, as part of the investigation. Baba Siddique had ‘2+1' security which means, two security guards during the day and one at night. Last week, on October 12, Mr Siddique was shot dead outside the office of his son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique, in Bandra East.

When Mr Siddique went to Bandra East, he had two security guards tagging along. But before he left his son's office, around 8:30 pm, one of the two security guards had left the location. This means, Mr Siddique had only one security guard with him who did not retaliate at the time of shooting, sources said.

Mr Siddique, 66, was killed around 9:30 pm, under the cover of a Dussehra procession and fireworks.
