Overview
- Justices A S Gadkari and R R Bhonsale directed the investigating officer and the Joint Commissioner (Crime) to file reply affidavits and produce the case diary.
- The court challenged police claims about recorded statements, seeking proof on whether Zeeshan Siddique’s account was taken and asking why the widow’s statement was not recorded.
- Shehzeen Siddique’s petition seeks a court‑monitored SIT or transfer to an independent agency, alleging a builder‑developer and political nexus tied to slum redevelopment was not probed.
- Police maintain an organised‑crime angle from a January chargesheet that names Anmol Bishnoi as a wanted accused and charges 26 persons under MCOCA, all in judicial custody.
- The bench listed the case for December 11 and asked police to assess Zeeshan Siddique’s threat perception after his counsel said his security had been reduced.
