In Mumbai, a shocking incident occurred on Sunday where former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot and killed. One of the two accused responsible for this heinous crime was brought before the court and remanded to police custody until October 21st.
During the hearing, the accused claimed to be a minor and requested a bone ossification test to determine their age. The court granted this request and instructed the police to bring the second accused back after the test is conducted. It will then be decided whether the proceedings will take place in a juvenile court or a regular court.
The two alleged assailants, Gurmail Baljit Singh from Haryana and a man from Uttar Pradesh, were produced in court in the afternoon on Sunday. The victim, a former Congress member who had recently joined the NCP, was attacked by three men outside his son's office in Bandra. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he was declared dead.
The crime branch, in charge of the investigation, requested a 14-day remand for the accused duo. They stated that they needed to look into the possibility of any international connections in this case. The prosecution also emphasized the importance of finding out the motive behind this attack on a former minister who had security measures in place.
The public prosecutor, Gautam Gaikwad, also raised the question of political rivalry being a factor in this crime. The defense lawyer, Sidharth Agarwal, argued that while the incident was indeed tragic, the accused's involvement has not been proven. He suggested that there may be a political motive behind this attack and that the accused were falsely implicated in the case.
This incident has caused shock and outrage in Mumbai, as the victim was not just an ordinary person, but a former minister. The police must thoroughly investigate all possible angles to bring justice to the victim and his family. The court has adjourned the hearing until October 21st and the accused remain in police custody.
