Mumbai Police Seek Centre's Help in Baba Siddique Case

The Mumbai police have requested the state home department to approach the central government to relax orders related to Anmol Bishnoi's movement out of prison. This is so they can take his custody and interrogate him in connection with the murder case of former NCP leader Baba Siddique.

The prosecution believes that custodial interrogation of Bishnoi is necessary to uncover a larger conspiracy behind the murder. However, their plea for his custody was rejected by a special NIA court in Delhi, citing a central government order.

The Mumbai police have written to the state government to request the Centre's intervention, but the state home department has not yet responded. In a related development, the prosecution submitted a confidential report in a sealed envelope to the court, informing it about the steps taken to arrest Bishnoi and his subsequent trial.

Bishnoi is still a wanted accused in the case and has not been arrested. The family of Baba Siddique has been pushing for his arrest so that he can be put to trial with the other accused.
