Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s Brother Anmol Bishnoi Arrested In US: Sources

New Delhi: 

Anmol Bishnoi – the younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who runs a global criminal syndicate despite being in jail – has been arrested in the United States, sources told NDTV Monday evening. 

Bishnoi is wanted in connection with several high-profile cases, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022 and the killing last month of ex-Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, as also the firing outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home in June this year.

Bishnoi, 50, was taken into custody earlier today, sources told NDTV.

Earlier this month Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch began the extradition process to bring him back from the US. A special court in Maharashtra issued a non-bailable warrant for his arrest.

A Red Corner Notice was issued by global law enforcement agency Interpol.

Bishnoi, from Punjab’s Fazilka, was earlier believed to be in Canada after fleeing India on a fake passport. He also faces two cases filed by the National Investigation Agency – India’s anti-terror unit.
