MCOCA Court Rejects Bail for Multiple Accused in Baba Siddique Murder Case

Prosecutors link the killing to an alleged Bishnoi network, with 26 people chargesheeted as the court’s detailed order is awaited.

Overview

Special MCOCA Judge Mahesh Jadhav denied bail applications on Monday in the case, according to special public prosecutor Mahesh Mule.
Bail was refused for Kisan Pardhi and Anurag Kashyap, and the prosecutor said Gaurav Apune’s plea was also rejected, though the written order has not been released.
Police and prosecution filings allege Kashyap helped a shooter flee to Nepal, while Pardhi supplied firearms and logistics for the attack.
Investigators say Apune was initially offered the contract and later linked to the conspiracy despite backing out, based on questioning of arrested suspects.
The chargesheet names 26 arrested accused under MCOCA who remain in judicial custody, and lists Anmol Bishnoi as a wanted alleged conspirator.
