In Mumbai, Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Baba Siddique was killed in a well-planned conspiracy. On Saturday, during the Dussehra celebration, while Siddique was bursting crackers outside his office, three attackers arrived. Among them, Shiv Kumar Gautam fired the shot at Siddique.
