Following Baba Siddique's murder, his family has expressed astonishment and tremendous sadness, and they have questioned how the police handled the matter. Aftab Siddique, sister of the late Nationalist Congress Party leader, criticised Mumbai Commissioner of Police Vivek Phansalkar and Maharashtra Director General of Police Rashmi Shukla on social media for failing to make an official statement on the motives behind the murder.

Despite allegations to the contrary, Aftab denied in her post that Baba Siddique had 'Y' category security. Three police officers were on duty, but the attackers were able to approach dangerously near, she said, with three of the four shooters coming within two feet of Siddique before being apprehended by supporters, while the fourth managed to get away.
