Almost eight months after he was deported from the US, alleged gangster Anmol Bishnoi, wanted accused in the attempted murder of actor Salman Khan on April 14, 2024 and currently lodged in Tihar Jail in another case, has moved the special trial court, wanting to “surrender”. The plea submitted by his lawyers said, “He intends to voluntarily surrender before this court to face the ingoing trial and join the judicial proceedings in the interest of a fair trial and further in the interest of justice.”
The plea sought his production virtually over video-conferencing in the case. It is pertinent to note that the prosecution has not sought his custody so far. The court has directed prosecution to submit its reply.
Bishnoi’s plea noted that charges were already framed against the accused on November 13, 2025, and prosecution witnesses have been examined in his absence. His plea further stated that as he was already under the physical control of the law in a separate case and, therefore, could not present himself independently, he was requesting the court to issue a production warrant to the Tihar Jail superintendent.
