Baba Siddique Murder Case: In a major development in the murder case of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, gangster Anmol Bishnoi, the main suspect, is being brought back to India after his extradition from the United States, according to reports.
Earlier, the Mumbai Police had declared Anmol Bishnoi, who is the younger brother of jailed mafia leader Lawrence Bishnoi, a ‘wanted accused’ and slapped the draconian Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against 26 others involved in the murder.
Anmol Bishnoi, 26, who was holed up in the US, was detained and later arrested by the local US law enforcers.

Baba Siddique Murder Case
On October 12, Baba Siddique (66), a senior NCP leader and ex-Congress Minister having close links with Bollywood and business circles, was shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Bandra East, at the height of the Dassehra Day celebrations.
According to IANS, initially, the Nirmal Nagar Police Station registered an FIR on the incident, and subsequently, the Crime Branch-CID also entered the investigations, given the political implications ahead of the just-concluded November 20 Maharashtra Assembly elections.
The police had filed the case under BNS Sections 103(1), 109, 125, and 3(5), read with Sections 3, 5, 25, and 27 of the Arms Act and Sections 37 and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act (MPA), and now additional charges under MCOCA.
Bishnois’ Crime List
Besides the Siddique killing, the Bishnois have also been allegedly involved in multiple death threats to Bollywood legend Salim Khan and his actor son Salman Khan, besides a firing carried out at their Bandra home on April 14.
