Lawrence Bishnoi Brother News: The National Investigation Agency has announced a Rs 10 lakh bounty on Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, as it attempts to nab the key figure in the 700-strong Bishnoi gang. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch had earlier filed a chargesheet against Anmol, terming him as the lead conspirator behind the firing attack at the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and the killing of popular Punjabi pop singer Sidhu Moose Wala.
In its 1735-page bulky chargesheet, Mumbai Police said that Anmol delivered a nine-minute long motivational speech to the Salman Khan house shooters - Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal - telling them that they would 'script history' if they could carry out the shooting successfully.
"Do this work well. After the work is completed, you guys will script history," he told the shooters in an alleged audio note sent from abroad.
"Do not be afraid at all while doing this work. Doing this work means bringing a 'change' in the society," he reportedly added.
The involvement in high-profile cases highlights the growing prominence of a younger cousin of Lawrence in the gang spread out in several countries let alone Indian states. Let's have a look at his short profile.
Who Is Anmol Bishnoi
Anmol Bishnoi is one of Lawrence's brothers, who entered the crime world following the suit of the dreaded gangster. He is said to be managing the gang's operations from outside India, with several reports indicating his presence in Canada. An Outlook report stated that the key member of Bishnoi gang leadership is involved in more than 18 crimes and left India using a fake visa and probably a fake passport too.
Fled Months Before Moose Wala Murder
He was also located briefly in Kenya in 2023, the report added. Anmol, who completed his college studies from a Rajasthan college was lodged in Jodhpur jail till 2021, after which he fled the country months before the murder of Moose Wala.
Anmol reportedly used a fake passport with the name Bhanu Pratap to flee India.
Operating Bishnoi Syndicate With Brar And '697 Others'
According to the agencies, Anmol Bishnoi was instrumental in arranging shooters for the Salman Khan residence attack and murder of Moose Wala. He is reportedly residing in Canada with his nephew Sachin Bishnoi and was spotted at a party in the USA in April 2023 alongside Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and Sharry Mann.
The singers later issued statements saying that they were not aware of his presence at the party. The NIA bounty has again highlighted the role of the 'Bishnoi gang's motivator' in illegal activities in India.
