  "content": "Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and a wanted accused in the 2024 firing outside actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence, has now moved to surrender before a Mumbai court on his own. On Thursday, he filed a petition before the special MCOCA court in Mumbai seeking permission to surrender. In his plea, Anmol said he wants to voluntarily present himself before the court to face the ongoing trial and join the judicial proceedings, in the interest of a fair hearing and justice.\n\nWhere Anmol Bishnoi Stands Right Now\nAnmol Bishnoi is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in New Delhi. He was extradited to India from the United States in November 2025. As soon as he landed in India, the National Investigation Agency, or NIA, arrested him in a separate case linked to an alleged terror-gangster nexus tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. That means he is already in judicial custody in one case, but has not yet been formally taken into custody in the Salman Khan firing case.\n\nWhat the Petition Actually Asks For\nOn Thursday, special judge S. R. Navender directed the public prosecutor to file a reply to Anmol's petition. The plea argues that even though Anmol is already in judicial custody in the NIA case, he cannot personally appear before the Mumbai court without proper judicial directions. That is why he has asked for a production warrant to be issued to the Tihar Jail administration, so that his surrender can be formally recorded and whatever remand proceedings are required, whether in person or virtually, can be completed.\n\nWhy the Defence Says This Won't Hurt the Case\nThe petition states that granting this relief would cause no prejudice to the prosecution. On the contrary, it argues, allowing the surrender would speed up the proceedings and prevent any misuse of legal process. It also points out that the trial in the firing case is already underway, and that in Anmol's absence, statements of three prosecution witnesses have already been recorded.\n\nA Recap of the Salman Khan Firing Case\nThe case dates back to April 14, 2024, when two motorcycle-borne attackers allegedly opened fire outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Bandra before fleeing the spot. Mumbai Police invoked MCOCA in the case and alleged that the attack had been conspired by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Shooters Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, along with Sonu Kumar Bishnoi, Mohammad Rafiq Chaudhary and Harpal Singh, are currently facing trial in the case and are all in judicial custody. Another accused in the case, Anuj Kumar Thapan, died in police custody. Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi have been named as wanted accused in this case.\n\nWhat this means for you\nThis case does not directly touch an ordinary reader's wallet or daily routine, but it does matter for how organised crime cases move through the courts.\n\n• Across India: Faster movement in high-profile cases tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate signals that investigating agencies are tightening the net around organised crime and gangster networks.\n• In Mumbai: If the court allows the surrender, the Salman Khan firing case trial could move faster, bringing a closer resolution to a case that has drawn wide attention from the Bandra neighbourhood outward.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
