Court Issues Warrant for Anmol Bishnoi in Baba Siddique Murder Case
A special court in Mumbai has ordered the arrest of a man named Anmol Bishnoi to question him about the murder of a political leader, Baba Siddique.
Baba Siddique was killed outside his son's office in Mumbai in 2024.
The court was upset that the police had not arrested Bishnoi earlier, even though he was in India after being sent back from the US.
The court also issued notices for two other men who are wanted in the case.
Baba Siddique's wife asked the court to make sure Bishnoi is questioned, saying the police were not doing their job properly.
The court reminded the police that it is their responsibility to investigate and arrest people, not the court's.
A special MCOCA court issued a production warrant for Anmol Bishnoi's arrest in the Baba Siddique murder case.
Baba Siddique, 66, was shot dead outside his son's office in Mumbai's Bandra (East) area on October 12, 2024.
The court reprimanded the Mumbai Police for not taking Bishnoi's custody earlier, despite his availability in India after deportation from the US.
The prosecution also obtained a proclamation notice against two other wanted accused, Mohammad Yasin Akhtar and Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar.
Baba Siddique's wife sought directions for the prosecution to secure Bishnoi's custody, alleging police inaction due to external pressure.
