In the latest development in the Baba Siddique murder case, Akashdeep Gill, arrested from Fazilka, Punjab, disclosed during interrogation that he communicated with key conspirators using a labourer's mobile hotspot to avoid police detection.
Gill admitted to using the hotspot of a labourer named Balwinder, allowing him to appear offline and avoid tracking, as per ANI.
The Crime Branch is currently searching for Gill's mobile phone, which may hold vital evidence related to the case.
Gill (22) hails from Pacca Chisti village in Punjab's Fazilka district and was held by the Mumbai Crime Branch in coordination with the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of the northern state. He has been identified as a crucial logistical coordinator for the murder plot orchestrated by gangster Anmol Bishnoi.
The NCP leader was gunned down on October 12 near his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East's Nirmal Nagar area.
