Anmol Bishnoi, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, detained in US: Sources

Anmol Bishnoi, the fugitive brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was detained in the United States on Monday, sources told India Today TV.

According to initial inputs, Anmol, also a dreaded gangster and wanted in India for several high-profile murder cases, was taken into custody in California earlier in the day.

Anmol Bishnoi, who fled India last year, became a key name in the criminal network orchestrated by the Bishnoi gang after his brother Lawrence Bishnoi’s arrest. Anmol is wanted in multiple criminal cases in India, including the shooting incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence and the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022.

He is also implicated in the recent killing of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique in October this year.

Anmol Bishnoi was taken into custody in the US weeks after the Mumbai Police Crime Branch unit initiated the process of his extradition. Anmol also faces two cases registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and 18 other criminal cases.

Recently, the terror probe agency announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for the person who will give information about Anmol Bishoi that will lead to his arrest.
