New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday arrested Anmol Bishnoi, brother and close aide of dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, on deportation from the US to India.
Absconding since 2022, US-based Anmol Bishnoi is the 19th accused to be arrested for his involvement in the terror-syndicate led by his jailed brother Lawrence Bishnoi.
According to the NIA, “Anmol was chargesheeted by the NIA in March 2023 after investigation of the case that he had actively assisted designated individual terrorists Goldie Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in the commission of terrorist acts in the country during the period 2020-2023.”
“Working closely with various Bishnoi gang associates, Anmol continued to run the terror syndicate and execute terrorist acts from the US for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, using his operatives on the ground,” the NIA said in its press note.
The investigation revealed that Anmol Bishnoi had provided shelter and logistics support to the gang’s shooters and ground operatives.
“He was also engaged in extortion from foreign soil into India with the help of other gangsters,” the NIA said.
NIA, as part of its efforts to dismantle the nexus between terrorists, gangsters and arms smugglers including their infrastructure and funding channels, continues to investigate case RC 39/2022/NIA/DLI (Terrorist-Gangster Conspiracy Case led by Lawrence Bishnoi).
What is worth noting here is that Anmol Bishnoi has several criminal cases registered against him, including conspiracy to murder former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, who was shot dead in Mumbai in October last year.
Similarly, a criminal case has also been registered against actor Salman Khan in connection with the firing outside his Bandra house in April last year.
His role in the murder of Punjabi rapper Siddu Moosewala is one of the most significant cases against him.
