Salman Khan attack, Baba Siddique murder: Will Mumbai Police finally get hold of Anmol Bishnoi?

Mumbai's police have recently requested the Union Home Ministry's intervention to potentially relax a December 5, 2025 order that prohibits Anmol Bishnoi, a prominent gangster, from being moved outside Delhi's Tihar Jail. This comes after a series of high-profile attacks linked to Bishnoi, including the 2024 assault on actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence and the murder of former minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique shortly thereafter.

The police have named Anmol as the suspected mastermind behind Siddique's killing, and have identified him as a wanted accused in multiple cases. However, they have stated that they have not questioned him. The police's request comes after months of pressure from the special court handling the Siddique murder case. Anmol was arrested in November 2025 following his deportation from the United States.

The order restricting his movement under Section 303 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita bars his removal from the prison while it remains in effect. The police argue that the order limits their ability to effectively investigate Bishnoi and other accused individuals, as only a limited number of officials can question him within the jail premises.
