Police are looking into a social media post purportedly written by a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility for the death of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. On Saturday night, three gunmen shot and killed the 66-year-old NCP leader near his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra's Kher Nagar area.

Baba Siddique was rushed to Lilavati Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police are investigating the validity of a popular social media post in which a gang member claims involvement in the death.
