The prime suspect, who is considered instrumental in planning and executing the crime, was detained while attempting to cross into Nepal. This apprehension was a pivotal point for investigators, who have been tracking Siddique's case as one of Maharashtra's most shocking criminal acts of the year. Reports indicate the suspect was intercepted based on an extensive surveillance operation, including digital tracking and local informants who helped police monitor border points.
Siddique, known for his wide influence and numerous business ventures, was targeted in what police believe was a premeditated attack involving multiple accomplices. Since the incident, law enforcement agencies have pursued various leads, including financial records and social connections, to establish a comprehensive picture of potential motives. These motives, still under investigation, have stirred speculation that financial disagreements or professional conflicts could have been contributing factors.
The arrest has enabled investigators to intensify their search for the other suspected accomplices, several of whom are believed to be still at large. Authorities have issued lookout notices for three additional suspects, who are now being closely watched as police anticipate further arrests. The search has been extended beyond Maharashtra, with close monitoring at airports and major transit points in case any suspects attempt to flee or assume new identities.
Investigators have been scrutinizing Siddique's extensive network of contacts, examining associates in both business and political circles. There are indications that the suspects involved may have had prior encounters with the law, which has facilitated efforts to track and apprehend them. Furthermore, data recovered from seized electronic devices has reportedly pointed to communications implicating others linked to the crime.
