Police to look into Anmol Bishnoi’s appeal to Salman residence dismissal accused – ThePrint – PTIFeed

Mumbai, Nov 8 (PTI) Police will analyze the audio clip of a conversation between jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother Anmol and an accused in the shooting incident outside actor Salman Khan’s house to check his involvement in the Baba Siddique murder case.

The special MCOCA court on Tuesday allowed the police plea, ordering the Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratory to provide the audio clip of a call between Bishnoi and Vicky Gupta, the alleged shooter arrested in the firing case.

The Bishnoi brothers are wanted for the shooting incident outside the actor’s residence, Galaxy Apartment, on the morning of April 14.

The police had argued before Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) judge BD Shelke that they needed a soft copy of the conversation to find out Anmol’s involvement in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique.

Siddique (66) was shot dead by three gunmen near his son MP Zeeshan’s office in Bandra on October 12. Police have so far arrested 16 people in the case.

The prosecution informed the court that Vikas Gupta was in touch with Anmol Bishnoi through the ‘Signal’ app and claimed that the accused had sent an audio clip of the conversation to his brother Sonukumar Gupta.

He said the police seized Sonukumar’s mobile phone, which contained a recording of the audio clip, and sent it to the Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratory (DFSL) for examination.

DFSL extracted and analyzed the cellphone data and retained an electronic copy of the video, the prosecution said, urging the court to order the lab to provide an electronic copy of the conversation on a USB stick. PTI AVI ARU
