In a tragic incident, Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar) leader Baba Siddique was shot dead last night in Bandra by three assailants.

Besides being a prominent name in the political arena, he had strong ties to the film industry. Politicians and film stars alike attended his Iftaar parties. He was also instrumental in mending relations between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan after their infamous feud.

Several film personalities visited Lilavati Hospital where Siddique breathed his last to meet his family and console them in their grief.

Salman Khan arrived at the hospital soon after the news of his death broke. Sanjay Dutt, too, visited the hospital to support Siddique’s family members. Dutt’s sister Priya Dutt was also seen at the hospital.

Besides them, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and her husband Raj Kundra were seen entering the hospital premises.

Zaheer Iqbal and Veer were also photographed at Lilavati Hospital. They were all visibly shaken by the news of Baba Siddique’s demise.
