Indian politician and former minister of Maharashtra state Baba Siddiqui was killed in the murder attack in Mumbai.
Baba Siddiqui was targeted near the office of his son Zeeshan Siddiqui, a member of the Maharashtra Assembly, in Mumbai.
Baba Siddiqui was associated with the Indian Nationalist Congress Party. Baba Siddiqui used to invite Bollywood stars to the Iftar party every year in the month of Ramadan.
Showbiz stars and other personalities belonging to all religions used to participate in this Iftar
It was Baba Siddiqui's iftar that brought Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, who were considered rivals in the past, closer and this relationship has now turned into a good friendship.
After their relationship, both have started working in each other's films. Baba's friendship with Salman Khan can be gauged from the fact that Baba Siddiqui left the shooting of Bigg Boss and rushed to the hospital as soon as he got the news of the attack.
