Baba Siddique murder case: Court allows wife to intervene in trial

Baba Siddique

In an important development in the murder case of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, the Special MCOCA Court on Friday allowed an intervention application filed by Shezeen Siddique, the wife of the late leader. With this ruling, Shezeen Siddique has officially been made a party to the case and will now assist the prosecution.

The intervention application was argued by Advocate Pradip Gharat, assisted by Trivankumar Karnani and Hritika Jannawar, who represented the intervener. Shezeen Siddique was also present during the court proceedings.

In her plea, Shezeen Siddique described the brutal killing of her husband on October 12, 2024, as a devastating and audacious act which left a trail of grief and outrage for the family as well as the wider public, and due to which she had endured significant emotional, physical, and mental trauma. "It is of utmost importance for the Intervenor to put on record the true and correct facts to assist this Hon'ble Court in arriving at a free and fair conclusion in the matter," the plea read.
