Mumbai, India – In a significant development, the Mumbai Police have confirmed that the whereabouts of Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of imprisoned gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, have been traced to the United States. A red corner notice has been issued against the 25-year-old, who is believed to be orchestrating gang activities from abroad while his brother remains incarcerated in Gujarat. Lawrence Bishnoi, the leader of the notorious Bishnoi gang, is currently serving time in jail; however, law enforcement agencies have uncovered that Anmol is actively managing the gang's operations from overseas.
Reports indicate that he is allegedly linked to high-profile criminal activities, including the assassination plot against Congress leader Baba Siddiqui and threats directed at Bollywood actor Salman Khan. As investigations progressed, Anmol Bishnoi’s name emerged, prompting authorities to intensify their search. He currently faces 19 criminal cases and has been placed on the Mumbai Police's wanted list. Despite his brother's imprisonment, the gang's operations continue unabated, raising questions about how they maintain their grip on criminal activities. A breakthrough came when American authorities provided information regarding Anmol Bishnoi's location to the Mumbai Police.
Following this development, the Mumbai Police submitted an extradition request in court on October 16. Confirming this, a senior police officer stated that steps are being taken to facilitate the extradition process. The urgency of the situation has been underscored by recent actions from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which announced a reward of ₹10 lakhs for information leading to Anmol's capture. He is also implicated in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, further complicating the case against him.
In response to the red corner notice issued by Indian authorities, American investigative agencies have initiated contact with the Mumbai Police. The court has granted permission for the extradition effort, and necessary documentation has been forwarded to the Union Home Ministry. The Ministry is expected to liaise with relevant U.S. agencies to expedite the process. As the situation unfolds, the Mumbai Police remain steadfast in their pursuit of justice, hoping to bring Anmol Bishnoi back to India to face the charges against him. The case emphasizes the ongoing battle against organized crime in the region and the international cooperation required to tackle such complex challenges.
