Zeeshan Siddique receives threat mails from ‘D-Company’

This was confirmed by deputy commissioner of police, Nimit Goyal, who is in-charge of Zone-9.

Zeeshan’s father, former minister Baba Siddique, was shot by three assailants outside his son’s office in Bandra East on October 12 last year. The main shooter, Shiv Kumar Gautam, allegedly fired six rounds, three of which hit Siddique’s upper body. He died within an hour of being admitted to Lilavati Hospital.

While Gautam was arrested a month after the incident, police are still on the lookout for two masterminds – Zeeshan Akhtar and Shubham Lonkar.

Preliminary investigations on Monday have revealed, Zeeshan Siddique received three threat emails on his Gmail account in which the sender claimed to be from the Dawood Ibrahim gang, said a source. Mumbai police have already provided protection to Siddique, with police personnel posted outside his residence in Bandra.
