Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and a leader in Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), was gunned down near Nirmal Nagar in Bandra.
He later succumbed to his bullet injuries at Lilavati Hospital on Saturday night.
Salman visited Lilavati Hospital on Saturday night to console and meet the family of Siddique, who died from bullets.
This event comes after months of security threats involving the actor.
On April 14, two bike-borne men opened fire outside Salman Khan’s house in Bandra. The attackers, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, were later arrested in Gujarat.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police have registered a case in connection with Siddique’s killing under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Arms Act and Maharashtra Police Act.
A case has been registered at Nirmal Nagar police station under Crime Registration No. 5, and 27 of the Arms Act, and Section 37 and section 137 of the Maharashtra Police Act.
The police also revealed the names of the two arrested suspects and revealed shocking details about their plan.
The two accused have been identified as Gurmail Singh, a native of Haryana and Dharamraj Kashyap of Uttar Pradesh.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday announced that Siddique will be cremated with full state honours.
According to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Siddique will be fully honored as he served as a minister in the Maharashtra government between 2004-2008 and as the chairman of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA).
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday said that five teams have been formed and sent to different states to investigate the murder of Siddiqui and it will be known in 2-3 days who caused the incident. Ajit Pawar went to Cooper Hospital where Baba Siddique’s body was shifted for autopsy and met NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique’s son.
