The Mumbai Crime Branch, investigating the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, is likely to file a charge sheet by the end of this week or the first week of January. Sources have revealed that there is no evidence to suggest an SRA (Slum Rehabilitation Authority) dispute as a possible motive. Instead, based on strong evidence, investigators believe that Siddique’s close association with Salman Khan was the motive behind the murder.

The charge sheet will name 26 accused individuals arrested during the investigation. It will also list three masterminds and key conspirators—Anmol Bishnoi, Shubham Lonkar, and Zeeshan Akhtar—who remain absconding.
