# Mumbai Court Seeks Explanation Over Anmol Bishnoi Custody Failure 2026-08-06T14:07:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A special MCOCA court in Mumbai issued show-cause notices to an Assistant Commissioner of Police and the investigating officer after Anmol Bishnoi was not produced through video conference. His physical production from Tihar Jail was not possible. The notices followed a plea by Shehzeen, wife of NCP leader Baba Siddique, over alleged disobedience of court directions. The court found the officer’s explanation unsatisfactory. It noted that the Government of India had barred Bishnoi’s removal on 5 December 2025. Although the Crime Branch secured a production warrant, a Delhi special NIA court rejected physical production. The Mumbai court asked why video conferencing or other lawful options were not attempted. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Anmol Bishnoi, Crime Branch, MCOCA, Mumbai court, Tihar Jail Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mumbai-court-seeks-explanation-over-anmol-bishnoi-custody-failure/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
