The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, whose members fired multiple rounds outside actor Salman Khan's residence earlier this year, is suspected of being behind Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar) leader Baba Siddique's murder. Officials told mid-day that they have discovered links suggesting the accused, after Baba Siddique was shot dead, are members of the Bishnoi gang.

Additionally, the police are also probing the possibility that an SRA dispute may have been the motive behind the attack on former Maharashtra minister Siddique.
