Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister known for his lavish parties, was shot dead outside his son's office as state elections approach, prompting an investigation.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar expressed shock at the "cowardly attack" on his party colleague, pledging a thorough investigation and accountability for the assailants.
Local media reported that two suspects have been arrested in connection with Siddique's murder, with claims linking them to a notorious criminal gang run by Lawrence Bishnoi.
The attack on Siddique comes just weeks before the state elections in Maharashtra, raising concerns over political violence in a highly charged electoral atmosphere.
