Mumbai experiences first high-profile political murder in decades, attributed to Lawrence Bishnoi gang over Baba Siddique's Bollywood and underworld links.

The assassination of Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader, has heightened concerns about law and order in Mumbai. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, citing Siddique's connections to Bollywood actor Salman Khan and underworld figures. This marks Mumbai's first high-profile political murder in nearly three decades, raising fears of a resurgence in organized crime, which had declined following economic reforms in the late 1990s.
