Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, wanted in connection with the murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddiqui, arrived here on Wednesday after being “deported” by the US. Bishnoi was taken into custody by the NIA as soon as he reached here.
Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, will soon be produced before a special court here, officials said.
He is the 19th accused linked to Lawrence’s terror syndicate. NIA spokesperson said that Anmol was detained as soon as he landed at Delhi airport from Louisiana. On November 18, the US Homeland Security Department had confirmed the deportation by sending an email to Zeeshan Siddiqui, the complainant in the Baba Siddiqui murder case. The email read, “Anmol Bishnoi has been removed from the country by the US government. This action took place on November 18, 2025.”
Anmol was arrested in November 2024 on charges of illegal entry in Sacramento, California, where the FBI identified him through DNA and voice samples. After that there was a long deportation process. In March 2023, the NIA, led by Lawrence Bishnoi, had filed a 1200-page charge sheet against Anmol in the terror-gangster conspiracy case.
The investigation found that between 2020 and 2023, Anmol carried out several terrorist activities in India at the behest of Goldie Brar and Lawrence. He used to give instructions to the gang from America itself, providing shelter, weapons and logistics supplies to the shooters. Anmol, a resident of Fazilka district of Punjab, had fled to America on a fake passport in April 2022 via Nepal, Dubai and Kenya. Anmol’s name is associated with many high-profile cases. He was the main conspirator in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai in October 2024.
According to Zeeshan Siddiqui, Anmol had sent Siddiqui’s photo and location to the shooters. He also had a role in the firing at Salman Khan’s house in April 2024. There is an allegation of providing arms and support for the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in May 2022. A total of 18 cases are registered, which include extortion, murder and arms smuggling.
