Baba Siddique murder case: Arrested Akashdeep Gill used a labourer's hotspot to evade tracking, say police
Mumbai/IBNS: Akashdeep Gill, who has been arrested in connection with the murder of Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique last month, used a labourer's hotspot to evade tracking, said the Mumbai Crime Branch as per media reports.
Gill has reportedly admitted to the Mumbai Crime Branch that he used the hotspot of a labourer named Balwinder to appear offline.
Gill was arrested in Punjab in connection with the murder which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed to have committed.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother Anmol Bishnoi, who is reportedly the mastermind, has been arrested in the United States.
Apart from Siddique's murder, Anmol is wanted in India in cases such as the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022 and the firing outside actor Salman Khan's Mumbai home in June this year.
After Siddique's murder, one of the Bishnoi gang members shared a post on Facebook where he hinted at Siddique's close ties with Salman and links to underworld people that cost him his life.
On the night of April 14, gunfire shook Mumbai's Bandra neighbourhood when two men on motorbikes fired multiple rounds outside Salman Khan's residence.
The attackers, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, were charged with conspiracy to murder and other serious crimes.
The Bishnoi gang is operating with 700 shooters from five states with an outreach outside India as well.
Bishnoi, who is in jail, operates from prison using mobile phones. He is switched from one prison to the other. First jailed in 2012, he is now in Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Jail where he was shifted from Delhi's Tihar Jail last year in August.
