The arrest of Shivkumar Gautam, suspected to be the primary shooter in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, has sparked controversy and claims of innocence. Gautam, who lacks a criminal history, was apprehended with four associates, some of whom face previous charges.

The joint effort by the Uttar Pradesh STF and Mumbai Police resulted in the capture of the suspects. Despite the accusations, Gautam's mother, Suman, vehemently denies his involvement, describing him as incapable of violence. Accusations extend to his acquaintances, believed to have assisted him.

The investigation has uncovered connections to broader criminal networks, with Gautam allegedly linked to the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
