Mumbai:As a good number of bigwigs from politicians to Bollywood celebrities mourn the death of NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was killed by assailants on Saturday night while Vijaya Dasami processions were going, footage from the scene near Nirmal Nagar in Bandra East shows the location where NCP leader was killed. His body has been transported to Cooper Hospital for a post-mortem after he succumbed to bullet injuries at Lilavati Hospital.

This is an extremely unfortunate incident. I spoke with the doctors and the police. Two people have been arrested -- the accused are from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. The third accused is absconding. We have instructed Mumbai Police to take strict action against those who take law and order into their hands,” Shinde told reporters in Thane, CM Shinde told reporters a day earlier.
