Earlier, US authorities reportedly alerted Mumbai Police about the presence of Anmol in their country. The Mumbai Police began the process of extradition as the Crime Branch approached a special court last month. The Mumbai Police on October 16 submitted before the court that they sought the extradition of Anmol Bishnoi, the Indian Express reported, citing official sources. 

Anmol Bishnoi faces over 17 criminal cases in India and has been named in some of the high-profile cases like the killing of NCP leader Baba Siddique, Punjabi singer Sidhu Mossewala, and firing outside the residence of actor Salman Khan, along with his brother Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar. Earlier, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) added Anmol Bishnoi’s name to its most-wanted list. The NIA also announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for the information leading to his arrest.
