“Baba Siddique Murder: Zeeshan Names BJP’s Mohit Kamboj, Builders in Police Statement”

In a major update to the Baba Siddique murder case, Zeeshan Siddique, the son of the former MLA, has named several builders and politicians allegedly connected with slum rehabilitation projects in his police statement. As reported by Hindustan Times on Tuesday, Siddique revealed that his father, Baba Siddique, had made a note about BJP leader Mohit Kamboj in his personal diary on the day of the murder.
Siddique further stated, “I later learned that Kamboj had spoken to my father via a WhatsApp call between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm,” referring to the time shortly before the tragic incident. Based on these revelations, Siddique has called for a thorough investigation into the potential involvement of the individuals mentioned in his father’s murder, specifically focusing on their connections to slum rehabilitation projects, which might have led to a motive for the crime.
Who are the people Zeeshan mentioned in statement?
In his police statement recorded on October 24, 2024, Zeeshan Siddique, the son of Baba Siddique, named several builders and developers who were reportedly in contact with his father. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the individuals and companies named included Prithi Chavan, Shahid Balwa, Shivalik Ventures, Adani, Nabil Patel, Vinod Goenka, Parvez Lakdawala, Mundra Builders, Vinay Thakkar, Omkar Builder, and others.
Siddique’s statement ties these figures to his father, raising questions about their possible involvement or connections to the slum rehabilitation projects, which might be linked to the ongoing investigation into Baba Siddique’s murder. He has demanded a detailed inquiry into these connections as part of the case.
In his statement recorded in October 2024, Zeeshan Siddique added that many individuals had reached out to him to report how several developers were committing “injustice” in relation to slum rehabilitation (SRA) projects. He shared that he had been actively fighting for the rights of those affected by SRA projects in Bandra East and West. Siddique mentioned that citizens had been contacting him with complaints, as developers were allegedly mistreating them.
Furthermore, Zeeshan Siddique also named BJP leader Mohit Kamboj, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab, along with other politicians, in connection with the ongoing investigation into his father’s murder. These revelations have raised significant concerns about the involvement of developers and politicians in the controversial SRA projects and the potential motives behind the crime.
In his statement, Zeeshan Siddique further named BJP leader Mohit Kamboj, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab, along with other politicians, as part of the ongoing investigation into his father Baba Siddique’s murder. The inclusion of these prominent political figures has added another layer of complexity to the case, with Siddique indicating their potential involvement or connection to the dispute surrounding slum rehabilitation (SRA) projects, which he has been actively fighting for in Bandra East and West. These revelations are expected to draw attention to the alleged links between politicians and developers in the case.
Baba Siddique had mentioned BJP’s Kamboj in his diary on the day he was murderd
In his police statement, Zeeshan Siddique revealed that his father, Baba Siddique, had mentioned BJP leader Mohit Kamboj in his personal diary on the day he was murdered, October 12, 2024. According to Zeeshan, Baba Siddique had spoken to Kamboj on a WhatsApp call for nearly half an hour. During their conversation, Kamboj expressed his intention to meet Baba Siddique regarding a Mundra Builders project in Bandra East.
Zeeshan further claimed that he had received videos showing how the builder had used offensive language when contacting slum dwellers. These videos reportedly depicted the builder’s inappropriate behavior, which may have been a factor in the tensions leading up to his father’s murder. The connection between the builder, Kamboj, and the SRA projects has added to the growing suspicion surrounding the case.
In his statement, Zeeshan Siddique emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into certain slum rehabilitation (SRA) projects. He highlighted the plight of the Dynaneshwar Nagar slum dwellers, who, according to him, were being forced to accept housing for rehabilitation in other parts of the city, far from their original homes. Zeeshan’s statement underscores his concern for the rights of the residents and their forced relocation, which he claims was part of a larger issue tied to the SRA projects.
This revelation adds weight to his demand for a detailed investigation into the connections between politicians, developers, and the developers’ alleged mistreatment of slum dwellers in these projects, suggesting that these factors may be closely linked to the circumstances surrounding his father’s murder.
Baba Siddique murder case
Baba Siddique, a prominent NCP leader, was tragically shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai on October 12, 2024. Initial investigations into the murder suggested that the Anmol Bishnoi gang was responsible for the killing. Reports indicated that the motive behind the murder could be linked to Baba Siddique’s close ties with actor Salman Khan, which might have made him a target for the gang. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are exploring various angles, including his involvement in slum rehabilitation projects and possible conflicts with developers, which Zeeshan Siddique has highlighted in his statements.
