The Mumbai police has arrested the fourth accused in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique.
Harishkumar Balakram (23), who used to be a scrap dealer in Pune, was arrested from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly supplying money and arranging logistics.
"In connection with Baba Siddiqui's murder case, Harishkumar Balakram (23), a resident of Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, has been apprehended," the Mumbai Crime Branch said on Tuesday.
Siddiqui succumbed to his injuries after he was shot six times on Saturday.
Earlier, police had arrested Haryana resident Gurmail Baljit Singh (23), Uttar Pradesh native Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19), both alleged shooters, and "co-conspirator" Pravin Lonkar from Pune. Another suspected shooter Shivkumar Gautam, who hails from Bahraich, is on the run.
Lonkar's brother, Shubham Lonkar wrote the social media post claiming that the Lawrance Bishnoi gang was responsible for the murder. Shubham is also missing.
The post claimed Siddique was killed because of his proximity to actor Salman Khan. The post also warned people against helping Salman Khan and Dawood Ibrahim.
