Currently held in Tihar Jail under NIA custody, the younger brother of Lawrence Bishnoi requests a formal production warrant to join the ongoing MCOCA trial.
MUMBAI — Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, currently held inside New Delhi’s Tihar Jail, has filed a formal application before a special court in Mumbai, expressing his willingness to voluntarily surrender in connection with the high-profile 2024 shooting outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s private residence.

Bishnoi’s legal counsel submitted the plea before a special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, stating that his physical or virtual submission to the court is necessary “in the interest of a fair trial and justice” and to enable him to actively participate in the ongoing judicial defense.

The Legal Logjam: Why a Jailed Inmate Needs to Surrender
The unique application stems from a multi-jurisdictional custody overlap. Bishnoi is already behind bars, meaning he cannot independently appear before the Mumbai judiciary without a structured inter-state transfer authorization.
Anmol Bishnoi's Current Legal Status:
Current Detention Location Target Court Destination Required Legal Mechanism
└── Tihar Jail, New Delhi └── Special MCOCA Court └── Issuance of a
(Held under NIA Custody) (Mumbai, Maharashtra) Production Warrant
Because he is trapped under the tight security apparatus of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Delhi, Bishnoi’s legal team has petitioned the Mumbai judge to issue a formal production warrant directed at the Tihar Jail authorities. This administrative document would legally compel the prison to present Bishnoi—either physically under heavy security or via secure videoconferencing—to have his arrest and remand formally logged into the Mumbai Police records.

Background of the Galaxy Apartments Attack
The case centers around a targeted dawn attack on April 14, 2024, when two motorcycle-borne operatives opened fire directly at Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments residence located in Mumbai’s affluent Bandra neighborhood before speeding away into the suburbs.
Case Timeline:
April 14, 2024: Gunmen fire multiple rounds at Salman Khan’s Bandra home.
Mid-2024: Mumbai Police invoke MCOCA, naming the broader Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate as the orchestrators.
November 2025: Anmol Bishnoi is successfully deported from the United States and immediately detained by the NIA upon arrival in India.
The NIA originally sought his arrest based on his alleged operational leadership within a cross-border terror-gangster network managed alongside his elder brother, Lawrence Bishnoi. The special MCOCA court is expected to review the state transport logistics and decide on issuing the production warrant during its next weekly session.
