New Delhi: More shocking details are emerging in the murder case of Baba Siddique, who was shot dead by three assailants in front of the office of his son, Zeeshan Siddique, on October 12.
During interrogation by the Mumbai Crime Branch, the main shooter Shiv Kumar Gautam confessed that after firing at Baba Siddique, he went to Lilavati Hospital to confirm whether the three-time MLA was dead or not. Baba Siddique was taken to Lilavati Hospital after he was shot at.
He stayed outside hospital for 30 minutes
Gautam told the cops that after shooting Baba Siddique, he changed his shirt and returned to the crime scene, where he observed the chaos for about 20 minutes. He then went by auto to Lilavati Hospital. He hovered outside the hospital for approximately 30 minutes to monitor Siddique’s condition, while gathering information about Siddique’s condition. When he learnt that Siddique had very little chance of survival, he left the hospital, took a rickshaw to Kurla station, and then caught a local train to Thane. While travelling from Thane on the Pune Express train, he received the news of Baba Siddique’s death on his mobile phone.
They were to be taken to Vaishno Devi
Gautam also revealed that according to the plan, he was supposed to meet Dharmaraj Kashyap and Gurmel Singh at Ujjain railway station, where a member of the Bishnoi gang was to take them to Vaishno Devi. However, this plan fell flat as two shooters were nabbed at the scene.
Gautam stated that after leaving Pune, he boarded a train heading towards Uttar Pradesh, which passed through Manmad, Ujjain, and Jhansi before reaching Lucknow. From there, he took a government bus to Bahraich.
