In a significant development, a special court has framed charges against 27 individuals linked to the 2024 murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique.

The charges, which include MCOCA and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), were formalized by Judge Satyanarayan R. Navander. The accused had earlier pleaded not guilty.

Siddique was assassinated in Mumbai, and the case has implicated Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, as a key conspirator intending to establish dominance within the crime syndicate.
