Anmol Bishnoi Arrested: Anmol Bishnoi, jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday upon his deportation from the US to India. Anmol's deportation is a big achievement for the Indian authorities as he has been wanted in several high-profile cases, including connection with the killing of NCP leader Baba Siddique, firing at Bollywood star Salman Khan's residence in April 2024, and the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

Anmol was "removed" from the United States on Tuesday, a year after he was detained in the US.

The gang is mostly active in Punjab's Monga, Delhi-NCR and Canada. Kaushal reportedly planned Lawrence Bishnoi's assassination.

Dalla Gang: The Dalla gang, emerged in Punjab's Moga around 2018, is one of the rival gangs of Bishnoi's group. Canada-based gangster-turned-terrorist Arshdeep Singh Gill, alias Arsh Dalla, leads the gang. He was a small-time local criminal in Punjab's Moga district in till 2018. Later, he fled to Canada amid mounting cases against him. The gang allegedly collaborated with Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) elements.

Bhau Gang: Active in Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Portugal, the Bhau gang is led by Himanshu Bhau. The gang also has links with the Bambiha syndicate. Himanshu has been a fugitive and has been living in Portugal since 2022. The gang was involved in the 2024 Delhi extortion firings. Himanshu is also known as Delhi's 'Chhota Don'. According to police records, he has been charged with more than 30 serious crimes, including murder, extortion, arms trafficking, and drug smuggling.

He was a notorious Indian gangster and the leader of the Tillu gang, operating primarily in Delhi-NCR and Haryana. He was killed in Tihar Jail in 2023 reportedly by Bishnoi's men.
