Baba Siddique Murder Accused Anmol Bishnoi Deported To India From US

New Delhi: Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was deported from the United States and landed in New Delhi on Wednesday in connection with the murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique.

Officials said Anmol was in contact with the shooters involved in the October 12, 2024 killing outside Siddique’s son’s office. The US Department of Homeland Security informed Siddique’s son, Zeeshan, of the deportation in an email stating that Bishnoi was removed from the US on November 18, 2025.

Bishnoi is wanted in multiple high-profile criminal cases, including the May 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and the April 2024 firing outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence. He was added to the NIA’s Most Wanted List last year, with a ₹10 lakh reward announced for his arrest.

Eighteen cases are registered against him, including charges that he supplied weapons and logistical support to Moosewala’s killers. Gangster Goldy Brar, another key member of the Bishnoi network, initially claimed responsibility for Moosewala’s murder before linking it to a political rivalry.

Anmol was arrested in Sacramento, California, in November 2024 for entering the US using illegal documents, shortly after India initiated the extradition process following a non-bailable warrant and an Interpol Red Corner Notice.

He is now expected to undergo interrogation by central and state agencies. (Agencies)
