Baba Siddiqui's wife moves HC seeking SIT probe into murder case of husband

Mumbai, Nov 7 (UNI) Shehzeen Siddique, widow of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was gunned down last year, has moved the Bombay High Court seeking an SIT probe into the case as the Mumbai crime branch "has failed to bring the real culprits to book".
In her plea, Shezeen alleged that the police intentionally avoided arrest of the real culprits in the case and have claimed the killing was ordered by Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, while she has a strong suspicion about the involvement of the builder lobby and a political leader behind her husband's death.
"Siddique (Baba) always had the interest of slum dwellers in his heart and hence he was considered a hurdle by several developers and builders in the area," she said adding, "this angle was never probed by the police."
