"They silenced my father. But they forget-he was a lion-and I carry his roar within me, his fight in my veins. He stood for justice, fought for change, and withstood the storms with unwavering courage. Now, those who brought him down turn their sights on me, assuming they've won. To them, I declare: The blood of a lion runs in my veins," he wrote.

Zeeshan Siddique, a Congress MLA, expressed that he remains "unafraid and unbroken" despite the murder of his father.

"I am still here, unafraid and unbroken. They took one, but I rise in his place. This fight is far from over. Today, I stand where he stood: ALIVE, RELENTLESS, and READY," he added.

Last week, Zeeshan Siddique called for justice for his father.

"My father lost his life protecting and saving the lives and homes of poor innocent people. Today, my family is broken, but his death must not be politicised and definitely not go in vain. I NEED JUSTICE, MY FAMILY NEEDS JUSTICE!" he wrote in a post.

Baba Siddique was shot dead outside his office in Mumbai by three assailants.

Two of the three shooters have been apprehended. Zeeshan was also a target of the attackers.

Meanwhile, police arrested five individuals last week for providing logistical support to the killers. They were identified as Nitin Gautam Sapre (32), Sambhaji Kisan Pardhi (44), Pradeep Dattu Thombre (37), Chetan Dilip Pardhi, and Ram Fulchand Kanoujia (43).
