Murder of Baba Siddique: ‘Yaar tera gangster hai jaani’, attacker Shivkumar Gautam wrote on his Insta profile 80 days ago | India News – Times of India

LUCKNOW: Dressed in a gray checked shirt and blue jeans, posing next to a sleek black TVS Raider motorcycle, the Instagram post seems innocuous at first glance, until you take a closer look at the caption… ‘Yaar tera gangster hai jaani’. Exactly 80 days before the NCP leader and three-time MLA was to be assassinated Baba Siddiqueone of the three suspects, Shivkumar Gautam, flaunted his self-proclaimed ‘Gangster’ status on various social media platforms.
The suspect is currently evading authorities and hails from Gandara village in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh.
DCP Mumbai Crime Branch Datta Nalawade announced on Sunday that the three suspects, Gurmail Baljit Singh, Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap and Shivkumar Gautamhad conspired to initially incapacitate the victim with pepper spray before opening fire, but Shivkumar fired his weapon prematurely.
With 229 followers and 49 accounts, including Union Minister Chirag Paswan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the accused had held 33 posts, often portraying himself as a gangster.

In one instance, he used a voiceover from the 2010 neo-noir crime thriller ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’, saying: “…Yeh umar sudhar ne ke nahi, bigadne ki hain…muskil toh yeh hain ki mein abhi theek tarah se bigada bhi nahi.” (This is not the age to improve, but to be spoiled… The problem is that I haven’t even managed to be properly spoiled yet.)
In another post, while capturing an urban landscape, he used a voiceover from KGF Chapter 2, which proclaims, “People in power make places powerful.” In yet another post, he shamelessly called himself a villain, accompanied by a voiceover from a Bhojpuri song… “Neta na kono vidhayak, majnu hamar khalnayak hai.”
According to his mother Suman, Shivkumar had left for Pune to work at a scrap yard around April 2, 2024; however, the suspect’s April 10 Instagram post showed that he worked at a warehouse packing and shipping online orders. “
