Shooting Occurred Outside Baba Siddique’s Office
Amidst the celebration of Vijayadashami in Bandra, outside Baba Siddique’s office, fireworks burst into the air. Between 9:15 and 9:20 PM, as Baba Siddique exited his son's office, gunshots rang out, masked by the din of the fireworks. Three individuals, masked with scarves, suddenly alighted from a vehicle and fired six shots at him. Baba Siddique was hit by three bullets, collapsing immediately.

No Criminal Record for Bahraich Shooters
No criminal records exist against Bahraich shooter Dharmaraj Kashyap in his district. However, Kaithal shooter Gurmail had a murder charge on his record. He had been imprisoned for this charge and was released on bail a few months ago. His family remains unaware of who arranged his bail, as revealed by his grandmother.
