Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's Brother Anmol Arrested in US

California: Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been taken into police custody in California, US, as per reports.

This development follows a recent proposal by Mumbai police for the extradition of Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother, after US authorities confirmed his presence in the country.

The Indian agencies have coordination with interpol and efforts will be undertaken to extradite Anmol Bishnoi.

However, the Mumbai and Delhi police have not yet issued any official statement on the matter.

According to reports from intelligence agencies, a non-bailable warrant was issued against Anmol Bishnoi two weeks ago, and he has now been taken into custody.

Who is Anmol Bishnoi?

Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has gained widespread attention after being placed on the National Investigation Agency's most-wanted list, with a ₹10 lakh reward offered for his arrest. 

He has been linked to several high-profile cases, including the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer and politician Sidhu Moosewala, the shooting outside actor Salman Khan's residence in Bandra in April.

Last month, the Mumbai police's crime branch approached the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, stating that it intends to "initiate the extradition procedure of fugitive criminal Anmol Bishnoi."

The Mumbai Crime Branch investigation has revealed that following the murder of Baba Siddiqui, a prominent leader from Pune was also targeted by the Bishnoi gang.

Charge sheets were filed against Anmol Bishnoi, a resident of Fazilka, Punjab , in two cases registered by the NIA in 2022. He fled India using a fake passport last year and was believed to be in Canada.
