Mumbai police have learnt that two of the suspects who shot dead Baba Siddique had been living in a rented residence in Kurla for two months prior to the incident. The rent for the house was Rs 14,000 per month. The suspects meticulously planned the murder after getting a contract worth Rs 2.5- Rs 3 lakh. Four persons were engaged in the killing, with each receiving Rs 50,000 for their role, sources revealed. 

Three of the four accused had previously been imprisoned together in Punjab when they made contact with a member of the infamous Bishnoi Gang. This bond drove them to join the gang and finally plan the murder.
