National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested the brother and close aide of dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Anmol Bishnoi, on his deportation from the US to India on Wednesday afternoon.
Absconding since 2022, US-based Anmol Bishnoi is the 19th accused to be arrested for his involvement in the terror-syndicate led by his jailed brother. Anmol was chargesheeted by the NIA in March 2023 after investigations in the case established that he had actively aided designated individual terrorist Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in the commission of various acts of terrorism in the country during the 2020-2023 period, NIA said.
Who Is Anmol Bishnoi?
Anmol Bishnoi is a part of the Lawrence Bishnoi global criminal syndicate, which continues to operate globally despite Lawrence Bishnoi's incarceration in Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
The National Investigation Agency and other agencies believe that Lawrence’s gang has links to pro-Khalistan groups, including the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and Anmol, along with gangster Goldy Brar help manage overseas operations, Hindustan Times reported.
Salman Khan Residence Firing
Anmol publicly claimed the responsibility for the firing incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence in April 2024. Following his claim, the Mumbai Police issued a Lookout Circular against him.
