Maharashtra News: NCP's senior leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by unidentified assailants. He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Two people related to the firing have been taken into custody, Mumbai Police informed, as per news agency ANI.

According to news agency PTI, an unidentified person fired at Baba Siddiqui of the Ajit Pawar-led NCP in Mumbai's Bandra East on Saturday evening. The firing took place outside his MLA son Zeeshan Siddiqui's office near Colgate ground in Nirmal Nagar, a police official told PTI.

Maharashtra Home Minister and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis and senior police officials reached Lilavati Hospital following the incident.

Reacting to the development, Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey slammed the Maharashtra government over the state's law and order situation,

"If former MLAs are not safe in our city Mumbai, if leaders of the government are not safe then how will this government protect the common people? If they cannot keep their MLAs and former ministers safe then Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis should resign. He has no right to continue as the Home Minister. Eknath Shinde has no right to continue as the CM of the state. There is firing on the streets of Mumbai in broad daylight. Three rounds are being fired and people are being shot at... Is this law and order?... The criminals have no fear... The policies of the Mahayuti and BJP had maligned the politics," he remarked.
