Zeeshan Siddique, son of Baba Siddique, pleads for justice following the death of a family member, stating “Our family is shattered, we cannot let his demise be in vain”
Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was tragically killed in an attack in Bandra, Mumbai last week. After his passing, Bollywood stars like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt visited the hospital to pay their respects. Siddique’s son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique, has since appealed for justice on social media, stating that his family is shattered and his father’s death should not be in vain.
On October 17, Zeeshan Siddique took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an emotional message about his late father, Baba Siddique. Zeeshan remembered his father fondly, emphasizing how he had protected and saved the lives of innocent, underprivileged people.
Speaking about how his family is coping with the loss, Zeeshan expressed that they are devastated and that his father’s death should not be politicized or forgotten.
“My father sacrificed his life to protect innocent people in need. Our family is shattered, but we must ensure his death was not in vain,” tweeted the Maharashtra MLA.
In his tweet, Zeeshan emphasized the need for justice following his father’s tragic passing. “I NEED JUSTICE, MY FAMILY NEEDS JUSTICE!” he added.

Earlier that evening, Zeeshan Siddique shared a childhood video of himself and his late father, Baba Siddique, on Instagram as a way of honoring his memory. Zeeshan reflected on fond memories spent with his dad during his childhood.
Baba Siddique was fatally shot by three assailants near Zeeshan’s office in Bandra at 9:30 pm on Dussehra (October 12). Two of the attackers, Gurmail Baljit Singh from Haryana and Dharamraj Kashyap from Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested by the police. The third assailant, Shiv Kumar Gautam from UP, is currently at large.
During the attack, Siddique sustained gunshot wounds to his stomach and chest and was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. Following the incident, his close friend Salman Khan has been given Y+ security due to alleged threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
