The United States has deported Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, to India, where he is wanted in connection with several high-profile cases, including the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and the firing outside actor Salman Khan's home. Anmol, who is considered one of India's most-wanted organized crime fugitives, is expected to arrive in New Delhi on Wednesday. According to officials, Anmol is facing at least 18 criminal cases in India, including the conspiracy to murder Baba Siddique, the firing outside Salman Khan's home, and the killing of Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala. Anmol's deportation process began after he was detained by US authorities last year. The NCP leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by three armed assailants outside his son Zeeshan's office in Mumbai's Bandra East in October last year. Zeeshan, Siddique's son, has named Anmol in the former Maharashtra minister's murder and called for his extradition, terming him a 'threat to society'. Anmol is also a wanted accused in the case relating to a firing outside the Bollywood actor's Bandra residence in April 2024. The attack is suspected to have been carried out at the Bishnoi network's behest. Anmol's role in the May 2022 murder of Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala remains one of the most major cases against him. A Punjab Police special investigation team had in 2023 said that Anmol is a conspirator in the Moosewala murder and that he had fled India using a fake passport just a few weeks before the killing. Anmol Bishnoi is also accused of being the key operator of the global criminal syndicate, working behind the scenes to manage businesses and activities of his elder brother Lawrence Bishnoi's gang. The Punjab police dossier accessed by HT last year revealed that Anmol oversees the extortion cartel and oversees investments of the Bishnoi gang's money in businesses outside India. The deportation of Anmol Bishnoi marks a significant development in India's efforts to bring back its most-wanted fugitives and bring them to justice.
