Mumbai: Mumbai police have written to Maharashtra govt seeking easing of the restrictions applicable to Anmol Bishnoi, an accused in NCP neta and former state minister Baba Siddique’s murder, so that a formal request can be routed through the Ministry of Home Affairs to secure his custody and try him in the case, sources said on Wednesday.
The development came as the special MCOCA court took up multiple proceedings in the case, including pleas to proceed against two absconding accused, Shubham Lonkar alias Shubbu and Mohammad Akthar alias Sikandar, also known by several other aliases including Zishan Akthar, Julmi, Kehi and Jassi in their absence. The court also rejected a bail plea filed by accused Rupesh Mohol.
Before Special Judge Satyanarayan R Navander, the prosecution also filed a confidential report in a sealed envelope. Last week the judge asked to present on Oct 28 all steps taken to secure the production of Bishnoi, the principal accused. Bishnoi has been lodged in Tihar jail, New Delhi, following his deportation from the US last Nov.
