On Wednesday, Lawrence Bishnoi’s younger brother, Anmol Bishnoi, the prime suspect in some of India’s most high-profile cases, landed in Delhi after he was deported from the United States.

He is allegedly accused of the murder of Baba Siddique and the Salman Khan house firing case. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has reportedly taken him to the Patiala House court for further legal proceedings. 

Deportation Marks Major Breakthrough in Organised Crime Cases

The deportation of Anmol Bishnoi from the US is a major success, as he is one of India's most-wanted organised crime fugitives. His return marks a significant step for Indian agencies. The agencies are now attempting to dismantle the Bishnoi gang's expanding international network.

Anmol acted as Lawrence Bishnoi’s main overseas agent. He directed extortion rackets and coordinated assignments via encrypted channels. His presence abroad helped the syndicate build links with criminal groups. These groups were across West Asia, East Africa, and North America. Investigations could lead to crucial details about the syndicate's global operations. 

Earlier on Wednesday, Ramesh Bishnoi, Anmol’s cousin, urged the Central government to ensure his brother’s safety. He said, “The law will take its course. Our family respects the law, and we are law-abiding people, but today our main concern is that if he (Anmol Bishnoi) is being brought to India, the Indian government should ensure his safety. This will be our demand.”

He further added, “We have always respected the law and will continue to do so... He (Anmol Bishnoi) is being punished only for being Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother. The investigation will reveal everything.”
