Bone Test Confirms Accused in Baba Siddiqui Murder Case Is Not a Minor, Sent to Police Custody
Mumbai Police, investigating the murder of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui, conducted an ossification test on accused Dharmaraj Kashyap, which confirmed he is not a minor, an official said on Monday.
Baba Siddiqui was shot dead by three assailants on Saturday in Bandra, a Mumbai suburb. The police arrested Gurmail Baljit Singh (23), from Haryana, and Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19), from Uttar Pradesh. A third accomplice managed to flee the scene.
Kashyap’s lawyer had claimed in court that he was a minor, prompting the court to order an ossification test on Sunday. The test disproved the claim, and Kashyap was remanded to police custody until October 21.
In a separate development, Mumbai Police’s crime branch arrested 28-year-old Pravin Lonkar from Pune. He is the brother of Shubham Lonkar, who is involved in the Nirmal Nagar firing case. The brothers are suspected of plotting Siddiqui’s murder, with Kashyap and Shivkumar Gautam enlisted in the conspiracy.
