Mon Nov 18 13:54:24 UTC 2024: ## Lawrence Bishnoi’s Brother, Anmol Bishnoi, Arrested in US

**NEW DELHI** – Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been arrested in the United States, NDTV sources confirmed Monday. Anmol Bishnoi, 50, is a key figure in the Bishnoi gang, implicated in several high-profile cases.

His arrest follows a concerted effort by Indian authorities, including the Mumbai Crime Branch initiating extradition proceedings earlier this month and Interpol issuing a Red Corner Notice. A non-bailable warrant for his arrest was also issued by a special court in Maharashtra. A ₹10 lakh reward had been offered for his capture by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which had added him to its most-wanted list.

Bishnoi is wanted in connection with the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, the recent killing of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, and the June shooting outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home. He also faces two NIA cases related to alleged conspiracy to raise funds and recruit youth for terrorist acts.

Previously believed to be in Canada, Bishnoi allegedly fled India using a fake passport. The Bishnoi gang, known for its involvement in organized crime, has been under intense scrutiny since Moosewala’s murder and the subsequent incidents involving Salman Khan. The gang is also being investigated for Baba Siddique’s murder. Increased security measures were implemented at Salman Khan’s residence following threats attributed to Lawrence Bishnoi, related to the 1998 blackbuck hunting case.
