MHA Limits Bishnoi's Police Custody for Safety

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has implemented a significant restriction, barring any police or investigating agency from taking gangster Anmol Bishnoi into physical custody for a period of one year. This directive mandates that all future interrogations of Bishnoi, a key accused in high-profile cases including the Baba Siddique murder and the recent firing incident outside Salman Khan's residence, must occur within the secure confines of Tihar Jail.

This extraordinary measure underscores the high threat perception surrounding Bishnoi. His court proceedings have also seen enhanced security protocols, with hearings sometimes relocated to NIA Headquarters and appearances often made via video conferencing due to safety concerns raised by his counsel. These precautions mirror those taken previously for his brother, Lawrence Bishnoi.
