Mumbai: The Mumbai Crime Branch has filed a chargesheet in the murder case of NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, revealing shocking details about the conspiracy. According to the chargesheet obtained by FPJ, the plot was masterminded by wanted accused Shubham Lonkar, Zeeshan Akhtar, and arrested accused Sujit Singh alias Babbu. These three began planning the murder in May 2024 under the instructions of gangster Anmol Bishnoi. Following Anmol’s orders, they recruited killers, arranged weapons, and ensured financial support for the execution of the plan.
Foreign Funding in Baba Siddiqui’s Murder: For the first time, the chargesheet exposes foreign funding in the murder. Out of the ₹17 lakh used for the crime, ₹5 lakh was transferred via hawala from Portugal by Anmol Bishnoi. The chargesheet also reveals that arrested accused Nitin Sapre attempted to use the bank account of his Facebook friend, Aniket Sapre, in September 2024 to receive the money. However, when Aniket learned that the money was coming from Portugal, he refused.
Investigations further uncovered that on August 14, 2024, ₹43,000 was transferred to Aniket’s account from Maharashtra. Aniket kept ₹6,000 as commission and transferred ₹37,000 online to Nitin Sapre. When Aniket questioned Nitin about the funds, Nitin claimed it was money earned from gaming. His statement has been included in the chargesheet by the Mumbai Crime Branch.
The chargesheet also exposes how Anmol Bishnoi remained in contact with the accused through four different apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Signal, and Snapchat. During the conspiracy, Anmol primarily used WhatsApp and Signal to communicate with the accused and issue instructions. The investigation highlights his continuous involvement in directing the execution of the murder.
With these revelations, the case has taken a major turn, exposing a well-funded and organized criminal operation that extended beyond Indian borders.
