It was a murder unlike anything Mumbai had seen in almost three decades.
Baba Siddique, a senior politician, was getting into his car in Mumbai’s affluent neighbourhood of Bandra on Saturday night when the air filled with firecracker smoke. As shots rang out, fired by three hooded assailants hiding close by, six bullets hit Siddique in the chest. He fell to the floor in a pool of blood. By the time he reached the hospital, Siddique was dead.
