Wanted as the main plotter in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in October last year, gangster Anmol Bishnoi is being deported from the US and is expected to reach India around 10am on Wednesday, sources said on Tuesday.

A senior officer confirmed the development to The Indian Express. Anmol is the brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

“Orders have been issued for deployment of multiple teams of Delhi Police at IGI Airport. Discussions are on who will take him in custody after producing in a court,” the officer said.

The officer said Anmol has several cases registered against him across the country, and the Centre will decide which agency should have his custody first.

Baba Siddique’s son Zeeshan also told The Indian Express that he received an email from US officials on Tuesday, informing him that “Anmol Bishnoi has been removed from the US by the federal government”. The Indian Express has seen the email.

“My e-mail has been registered with the US authorities since I am from the victim’s family, and they would update me about any developments in the case. This morning, I received an email saying that Bishnoi has been removed from the US. I do not know what that means or where he has gone,” Zeeshan said.

Baba Siddique was shot outside his Bandra office on October 12, 2024, and the Mumbai Police has arrested 26 people in this regard. In the chargesheet, police named Anmol as the ‘plotter of the murder’ and declared him as a wanted accused.
