The Mumbai Police on Sunday said it is probing all angles in connection with the Baba Siddique murder case and said the angles of Lawrence Bishnoi and Salman Khan along with other angles are also being probed.
It said that Shiv Kumar alias Shiva Gautam was the one who fired his gun. Police said Shiv Kumar is still absconding but they need Gurmail Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap, who accompanied him, and presented them before a Mumbai court.
“Shiv Kumar fired at Baba Siddiqui, while Dharmraj was carrying chili spray. However, before he could use it, Shiv had already opened fire. Three constables were present with Baba at the time but failed to do anything,” DCP crime branch Datta Nalawade said.
“Two accused were detained on the spot. Two pistols and 28 rounds have been recovered. We have the custody of the accused till October 21. We are investigating the Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s role in the case. Baba Siddique did not have a categorised security but three security personnel were given to him,” Nalawade further added.
