In the Baba Siddikhi murder case, a Delhi court declined to transfer accused Anmol Bishnoi to Mumbai police custody, keeping him under its jurisdiction.
The Baba Siddikhi murder case, which has drawn national attention, involves the killing of a local religious figure in Delhi. Anmol Bishnoi, the main accused, was arrested and has been in custody since the incident.
On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court issued an order refusing to transfer Bishnoi to the Mumbai Police for further investigation. The court cited jurisdictional concerns and the need to maintain continuity of the investigation within its own legal framework.
Mumbai Police officials have indicated that they may seek a review of the decision, arguing that the case has links to crimes committed in Maharashtra. However, the Delhi court has stated that it will continue to oversee the proceedings.
The case will now proceed under the Delhi court’s purview, with the next hearing scheduled for the end of the month. Both sides are expected to file additional petitions before the final verdict is delivered.
