Baba Siddiqui also had a seat
This seat has also been the seat of Baba Siddiqui. He was shot dead recently. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for this. He is considered close to Salman Khan. After Siddiqui's murder, Salman's security was increased, he even went to cast his vote amid tight security.
