“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 president of Mumbai Youth Congress said.
It is important to note that the senior NCP leader was shot dead by three assailants on Saturday, October 12, when he was returning from the office of his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique in Bandra east.
