The shooting occurred at the office of his son, Zeeshan Siddique, who serves as the MLA from Bandra East. Siddique was rushed to Lilavati Hospital for treatment but was later pronounced dead.

“Two to three rounds were fired. Further investigation is underway, and teams have rushed to the area,” a police official stated. Following the incident, police have taken two individuals into custody in connection with the shooting.
