Gangster Anmol Bishnoi Deported from US, Arrested by NIA
Fugitive gangster Anmol Bishnoi was deported from the United States and landed in Delhi on 19 November 2025. Upon arrival at the airport, he was taken into custody by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA). The arrest marks a major break in the investigation into the high-profile murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique and other organised-crime allegations involving the Bishnoi gang.
Details of the Case and Background
Anmol Bishnoi is the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and is wanted in multiple cases including the Siddique murder. He had been evading Indian authorities while reportedly based abroad. His return represents a key step in dismantling the gang’s international network. The NIA is expected to soon file formal charges under anti-terror legislation and organised crime statutes.
Significance and Law-Enforcement Impact
The deportation from the US and prompt arrest by Indian agencies underline growing international cooperation in tracking and repatriating fugitives. Law-enforcement officials say this case sends a strong signal to trans-national criminals that safe havens are shrinking. The next phase will focus on interrogation, seizing assets and mapping the wider gang’s operations across states.
