Salim Khan said, “Nahi, mujhe nahi lagta hai ki isse koi taluk hai. Isse koi taluk nahi hai, mujhe nahi lagta. Baba Siddique ka isse kya taluk hoga? Kisi bhi cheez ka bana dijiye. Aapne humko salaam nahi kiya, ab hum aapko maar denge. Aapne humko namaste nahi kiya, hum maar denge (No, I don’t think there is any connection. What connection will Baba Siddique have with this? We can make any story like this. You didn’t greet me, I’ll kill you)”

He said, “Isme kya hai? Har koi bachana chahta hai…Zindagi jo hai kabhi bhi ja sakti hai, kisi ki bhi jasakti hai (So what? Everyone wants to save him…Anyone can lose their life anytime).”

Baba Siddiqui was shot dead on the night of October 12 outside his son MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui’s office in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area. Two shooters were arrested subsequently, and more persons were held on Friday for allegedly providing firearms and logistical support to the shooters, said a Mumbai police official. Nine people so far have been arrested in the case.
