Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi's Brother, Faces Deportation to India in Baba Siddique Case

Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and a key figure in India's transnational crime network, has been deported from the United States and is en route to India.

His return marks a significant development in the investigation into the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was gunned down in Bandra on October 12, 2024.

U.S. Confirms Removal, Siddique Family Notified

According to sources familiar with the matter, Anmol is expected to arrive in New Delhi on Wednesday. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) formally notified Siddique's family of the deportation.

"This email is to inform you that ANMOL BISHNOI has been removed from the United States... The offender was removed on November 18, 2025," the email stated. Siddique's family later shared a screenshot of the communication.

Fugitive Trail: From Punjab to the U.S.

Anmol, originally from Fazilka district in Punjab, had been evading Indian authorities since fleeing the country on a forged passport. Investigators revealed that he exited India via Nepal, then traveled through Dubai and Kenya before ultimately reaching the United States. His arrest in November last year triggered a lengthy deportation process that culminated this week.

Key Player in Bishnoi Crime Syndicate

A senior official from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) described Anmol as a pivotal overseas operative for the Bishnoi crime syndicate.

"His presence abroad helped the syndicate build links with criminal groups across West Asia, East Africa and North America. With his deportation confirmed, we are now preparing to take his formal custody," the official said, requesting anonymity.
Implications for Ongoing Investigations

Authorities believe Anmol's return could be a turning point in dismantling the Bishnoi network's international operations. His interrogation is expected to yield critical intelligence on extortion, murder, and terror cases linked to the syndicate.

"His return will also unlock crucial details about the Bishnoi syndicate's global operations and reshape several ongoing terror, murder and extortion probes," the NIA official added.
