Baba Siddique murder: Court denies bail to two accused
Mumbai, Jul 19 (PTI) A court here on Saturday refused bail to two men arrested in the murder case of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. The bail pleas of Akhilendra Pratap Singh and Akashdeep Singh were rejected by the special MCOCA judge Mahesh Jadhav. Nationalist Congress Party leader Siddique (66) was shot dead by three assailants outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Mumbai's Bandra (East) area on the night of October 12, 2024. Akhilendra Pratap Singh had sought bail on the ground that the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act was applied against him without application of mind. He had no criminal antecedents to justify MCOCA, his plea said. Akashdeep Singh claimed that the charge sheet did not disclose any incriminating material against him. He was accused of being a member of an organized crime syndicate run by the wanted accused without attributing any specific act to him, his application said. The prosecution as well as advocates Pradip Gharat and Trivankumar Karnani who appeared for the Siddique family opposed the bail applications. Material cited in the charge sheet establishes a prima facie case against the accused, they said. The court after hearing both the sides denied them bail. The detailed order was not available yet. As many as 26 people have been arrested in the case while Anmol Bishnoi, brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and two others are absconding accused.
