Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and who is wanted in connection with multiple high-profile cases, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022 and the gunfire incident outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home in June this year, has been arrested in California in the United States, sources said Monday evening.

Bishnoi is also wanted in connection with last month’s murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Baba Siddique.

Bishnoi had been taken into custody earlier today, sources said.

Earlier this month Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch began the extradition process to bring him back from the US. A special court in Maharashtra issued a non-bailable warrant for his arrest.

A Red Corner Notice had been issued by global law enforcement agency Interpol.

Bishnoi was earlier believed to be in Canada.

The National Investigation Agency – India’s anti-terror agency – had added Anmol Bishnoi to its most-wanted list last month. A reward of Rs 10 lakh was also announced for his arrest.
