Mumbai Police Cite Legal Restrictions in Securing Custody of Baba Siddique Case Accused
In the Baba Siddique murder case, Mumbai police officials have denied disobeying court orders regarding the custody of accused Anmol Bishnoi, who is lodged in Tihar Jail under an NIA case. The police argue that a central government order restricts Bishnoi's removal from jail, making physical custody necessary for effective interrogation and investigation of the alleged conspiracy. The court has suggested video conferencing as an alternative, but police maintain it cannot substitute for in-person questioning. Contempt proceedings were considered after police failed to secure Bishnoi's custody.
