Siddiqui though puts on trial earlier had turned approver and was granted pardon in 2006. However in 2008, after he did not divulge all the information, he was declared hostile and the prosecution sought to reject his pardon which was allowed by the court. After this, his trial was separated from that of Salem.

According to police, on March 7, 1995, Jain was shot dead by assailants outside his Juhu bungalow after he allegedly refused to part with his huge property to Salem. Nikam said this is for the first time in the state that an accused, who was granted pardon, has been convicted.
