Anmol Bishnoi Deported from US to India
The shadowy world of Indian organized crime has been jolted by a significant breakthrough for law enforcement. Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and the prime accused in the murder of politician Baba Siddique, is being deported from the United States to India. This move marks a major victory for Indian agencies who have been tracking the fugitive across continents.
But who exactly is Anmol Bishnoi, the man at the center of this international manhunt?
Who is Anmol Bishnoi? Beyond Lawrence Bishnoi‘s Brother
Far from just being “Lawrence Bishnoi‘s brother,” Anmol, also known as Bhanu, has carved out his own reputation as a key operator and a crucial international link for the crime syndicate. While Lawrence manages the gang’s operations from behind bars in India, Anmol is believed to be the mastermind handling their activities from foreign soil.
He fled India in 2022 using a fake passport, establishing a base abroad to coordinate extortion rackets, arms smuggling, and high-profile attacks. His role was to expand the gang’s influence beyond national borders.
Connection to Salman Khan Firing and International Notoriety
Anmol Bishnoi’s name exploded into national headlines earlier this year in connection with the brazen firing incident outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence. In a social media post, Anmol allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack, issuing a chilling warning to the actor. This act solidified his position as a fearless figure within the gang, willing to target the country’s most protected personalities to expand their reign of terror.
The investigation into Anmol’s activities reveals a cunning operator who exploited legal loopholes to remain at large. He was reportedly detained in the US after a Red Corner Notice was issued against him by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The Shocking Murder of Baba Siddique
The assassination of Baba Siddique, a former MLA known for his high-profile Iftar parties that often bridged the worlds of politics and Bollywood, sent shockwaves through Mumbai. On the evening of October 12th, gunmen stormed his office in Bandra and shot him at point-blank range.
Shortly after the murder, a social media account purportedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility. The post cited “betrayal” as the motive and named Anmol and Lawrence as the orchestrators, warning that anyone associated with their “enemies” would meet a similar fate.
Why is Anmol Bishnoi‘s Deportation a Major Breakthrough?
With Anmol Bishnoi‘s imminent arrival on Indian soil, investigators are hopeful they can unravel the entire conspiracy behind the Siddique murder and other crimes. His deportation is the culmination of relentless diplomatic and intelligence efforts by Indian agencies, including the Mumbai Crime Branch.
His interrogation is expected to provide crucial answers to several burning questions:
* What was the specific motive behind Siddique’s murder?
* Who were the local handlers and shooters involved?
* How does the gang’s international network function?
* What other attacks were being planned?
The deportation of Anmol Bishnoi is more than just the capture of a wanted criminal; it’s a significant blow to a transnational crime syndicate. For the Mumbai Police and the NIA, it’s a critical opportunity to dismantle an international terror-and-extortion network and deliver long-awaited justice.
