Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been deported from the United States to India. He is a prime accused in several high-profile cases, including the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique in October 2024 and his alleged involvement in the Sidhu Moosewala murder conspiracy of May 2022. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security formally informed Indian authorities and the Siddique family about his removal from American soil. Indian law enforcement agencies consider his return a major breakthrough in their efforts to curb cross-border organised crime associated with the Bishnoi gang.
Anmol Bishnoi is regarded as an influential member of the Bishnoi gang, an organised crime network operating across Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, and even abroad. He is wanted in multiple Indian states for serious offences, including murder, targeted killings, extortion, and other criminal activities. In late 2024, he was reportedly detained by U.S. immigration authorities after allegedly entering the country using forged documents.
This development reflects strong international cooperation in addressing transnational criminal networks. Anmol’s return to India is expected to assist investigators in identifying the masterminds behind the murders he is linked to, as well as uncovering weapon supply routes, overseas operations, and the financial networks supporting the gang. Overall, his deportation is viewed as a significant setback for the Bishnoi gang’s global activities.
Upon his return to India, Anmol Bishnoi is expected to be handed over to central or state investigative agencies such as the NIA or the Maharashtra Police. He will likely undergo extensive questioning aimed at identifying his co-conspirators, uncovering sources of funding and logistical support, and revealing any foreign links connected to the crimes he is accused of. His interrogation may lead to additional arrests and help expose the broader criminal network associated with the Bishnoi gang. Following this, he will face formal legal procedures and court appearances as part of the extradition process.
