Mumbai/IBNS: Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique's son Zeeshan Siddique has shared a cryptic post on social media days after his father was shot dead by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang members a week ago, media reports said.

Zeeshan, a Congress MLA from Bandra East, posted on X, "Not all that is hidden sleeps, Nor all that is visible speaks."

Zeeshan has already met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who runs the state Home Ministry.

He was apprised of the ongoing police probe into the murder which occurred during Dussehra. Nine people have so far been arrested.

Earlier, Siddique had appealed that his father's death should neither be politicised nor should it go in vain.

In a post on X on Thursday, Zeeshan Siddique wrote: "My father lost his life protecting and saving the lives and homes of poor innocent people. Today, my family is broken but his death must not be politicised and definitely not go in vain. I NEED JUSTICE, MY FAMILY NEEDS JUSTICE!"

The 66-year-old NCP leader was shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East, Mumbai, on October 13.

The attack occurred around 9:30 pm when assailants opened fire, targeting Siddique and his associate, with multiple bullets fatally hitting the politician in the chest. A few hours later, the infamous Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the assassination in a social media post.

The three men who shot dead Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique threw chilli powder at police officers and also carried pepper spray as a part of the assassination plan, media reports said.
