Seeing the possibility of danger to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother and international gangster Anmol Bishnoi, the judge himself reached the National Investigation Agency headquarters and heard the case.
This order of the court to extend the custody by 7 days will give enough time to NIA to closely investigate the gangster network, funding chain and criminal activities taking place from abroad. NIA lawyer Rahul Tyagi, while talking to IANS, said that many revelations have been made during the interrogation of Anmol Bishnoi. Keeping this in view, the court has extended the custody for 7 more days. There may be more revelations in the inquiry.
NIA officials had expressed apprehension that Anmol Bishnoi might be attacked. In view of this, the case was heard at the NIA Headquarters itself. During initial interrogation, Anmol Bishnoi has told how many people are there in his gang and from where the work is done. Along with this, many revelations have been made. NIA will interrogate him till December 5. NIA had arrested Anmol Bishnoi as soon as he reached India on November 19 after extradition from America.
The court had sent gangster Anmol Bishwoi to the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for 11 days, although the central investigation agency had sought 15 days’ custody from the court. Anmol, who was absconding since 2022, was included in the most wanted list of NIA. A reward of Rs 10 lakh was declared on him. He is the 19th accused linked to Lawrence’s terror syndicate.
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.
Earlier in March 2023, the NIA had filed a 1200-page charge sheet against Anmol in the terror-gangster conspiracy case under the leadership of Lawrence Bishnoi.
The investigation found that between 2020 and 2023, Anmol carried out several criminal activities in India at the behest of Goldie Brar and Lawrence. He used to give instructions to the gang from America and provided shelter, weapons and logistics supplies to the shooters. Anmol, a resident of Fazilka, 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.
