Yogesh alias Raju of Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed that Baba Siddique was “not a good man” and had connections with India's most-wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim.

Despite his gang claiming responsibility for the firing outside Salman Khan's house in April and now Baba Siddique's killing last week, the Mumbai Police has not been able to get custody of Lawrence Bishnoi,

Sukkha, a Lawrence Bishnoi gang shooter, was arrested in Haryana's Panipat by the Navi Mumbai Police in connection with the firing incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence, news agency IANS reported.

Shooter Yogesh, from the Lawrence Bishnoi-Hashim Baba gang, revealed how the gang selects targets and communicates from jail. He boldly said, "Baba Siddiqui wasn’t a good man; he had an MCOCA case against him.

Based on specific information, raids were carried out by the Crime Branch in Panvel and Karjat in neighbouring Raigad district, leading to the arrest of these five persons for conspiracy related to the crime and its execution,

Sukhvir alias Sukha was arrested at a hotel in Panipat on Wednesday night. He had come to meet a woman who was actually an undercover officer from the Mumbai Police.

The reason behind Mumbai police's struggle for Lawrence Bishnoi’s custody is an order from the MHA that restricts the gangster from being transferred from Ahmedabad.

Mumbai police met MHA officials to seek custodial interrogation of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in the case of former minister Baba Siddique's murder. Bishnoi's involvement was discovered post-Salman Khan's residence firing.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said this in response to a query during his weekly briefing as he fielded questions on India-Canada ties, a day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified before a Commission of Inquiry.
