Following an alert from the US authorities about Anmol Bishnoi’s presence in America, the Mumbai police have initiated extradition proceedings for the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Anmol, 25, is involved in several high-profile cases, including a shooting incident outside Bollywood star Salman Khan’s residence.

Extradition request filed in court

The Mumbai police filed an application last month to bring Anmol Bishnoi back to India. In Salman Khan’s case in particular, the court was informed about the ongoing efforts on October 16 after the allegations were revealed.

Criminal records and charges

Anmol Bishnoi is accused of organizing several criminal activities for Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently in jail in Gujarat. The two brothers have been accused of committing serious crimes like the shooting outside Salman Khan’s house and the recent killing of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique.

NIA puts Anmol on most wanted list

In October, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had placed Anmol on its most-wanted list after announcing a reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to his arrest. Bishnoi is believed to travel frequently to the US and Canada and is closely monitored by Indian authorities.
