Gangster Anmol Bishnoi seeks to surrender in Salman Khan house firing case

Gangster Anmol Bishnoi has approached a special MCOCA court in Mumbai seeking permission to surrender in the 2024 Salman Khan residence firing case, saying the move is necessary to enable him to participate in the proceedings and ensure a fair trial.

In his application, Bishnoi—currently lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail after being arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in its alleged terror-gangster nexus case involving the syndicate led by his elder brother Lawrence Bishnoi—said he wished to voluntarily surrender before the Mumbai court “to face the ongoing trial and join the judicial proceedings in the interest of a fair trial and in the interest of justice.”

He submitted that although he is already in judicial custody in the NIA case, he cannot physically appear before the Mumbai court unless appropriate directions are issued.

Accordingly, Bishnoi has sought the issuance of a production warrant directing jail authorities to produce him before the court so that his surrender can be formally recorded and subsequent remand proceedings, either in person or through video conferencing, can be conducted.

The case stems from the firing outside actor Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments residence in Mumbai’s Bandra on the morning of April 14, 2024, when two motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire before fleeing the spot. The Mumbai Police later invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), alleging the attack was orchestrated by the Bishnoi gang.

Anmol Bishnoi was deported from the United States in November 2025 and arrested by the NIA upon his arrival in connection with its investigation into the alleged terror-gangster network.
