Baba Siddique Murder Case: Family Presses For Anmol Bishnoi’s Arrest, Alleges Delay Despite Court Directions

Mumbai, October 24, 2026: After the recent unrest over the slow pace of arresting gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi, linked to attacks on Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Rohit Shetty, the family of former NCP leader Baba Siddique has intensified their call for Anmol Bishnoi's arrest. Trivankumar Karnani, legal advisor to Siddique's widow Shehzeen Siddique, expressed frustration to The Free Press Journal, accusing Mumbai Police of "intentional dereliction of duty" for failing to comply with the special court's explicit directives to secure Anmol Bishnoi's custody and proceed with his trial.

Special Public Prosecutor Mahesh Mule confirmed that steps are being taken but promised to submit a report in the upcoming court hearing.

Recently, the MCOCA court scolded the prosecution for the lack of action by Mumbai Police to arrest Anmol. Anmol was deported back to India in November of the previous year. Even though charges have been filed against the arrested accused, Anmol remains on the wanted list despite his return to India. Karnani emphasized that police didn't make any effort to arrest Anmol prior to the family's legal action.

Further, he explained that Mumbai Police had sought permission from a Delhi special court for Anmol's custody, but the request was denied under a Central Government's order preventing his movement outside Tihar Jail, where he is currently held.
