The court hearing the Baba Siddique murder case has asked police to submit a report detailing steps to secure the custody of suspect Anmol Bishnois.
A trial court overseeing the high‑profile murder case of Baba Siddique has directed the police to prepare a detailed report on how to ensure the custody of the accused, Anmol Bishnois. The order was issued during the latest hearing, signalling the court's focus on procedural safeguards before the suspect is taken into police custody.
The police are now required to outline the specific steps they will take, including any legal authorisations, security arrangements and compliance with statutory guidelines, to prevent any breach of custody. The report must be submitted within a stipulated timeframe, after which the court will review the recommendations before authorising the transfer.
Baba Siddique's murder, which has attracted considerable media attention, remains under investigation, with Anmol Bishnois identified as a key suspect. The court's intervention aims to ensure that the investigative process proceeds without procedural lapses, thereby upholding the rights of the accused while maintaining the integrity of the case.
Legal experts note that such directives are routine in sensitive criminal matters, especially when the accused may be at risk of tampering or when public sentiment is heightened. The next hearing is expected to address the police's findings and decide on the final custody order.
