Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for Baba Siddique's killing. In a viral Facebook post, a post by a gang member stated that Siddiqui's was shot due to his ties with Salman Khan, Dawood Ibrahim and Anuj Thapan.
The post read, "Om, Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat. I understand the essence of life, and consider wealth and the body as dust. I did only what was right, honouring the duty of friendship."
"Salman Khan, we did not want this war but you made our brother lose his life. Today the pool of decency of Baba Siddique is closed or at one time he was under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) with Dawood. The reason for his death was his links to Dawood and Anuj Thapan in Bollywood, politics, and property dealings," said the post.
