Delhi Court Grants Extended Custody in High-Profile Gang-Terror Case
A Delhi court has approved the extension of National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody for Anmol Bishnoi, marking a significant development in the ongoing probe into gangster-terrorist networks operating across India. The decision comes shortly after Bishnoi's extradition from the United States, where he had been detained for over a year.
Anmol Bishnoi, brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was deported to India on November 18 and now becomes the nineteenth arrest in this sprawling investigation. His return to Indian soil represents a major breakthrough for investigative agencies working to dismantle international criminal networks.
Multiple High-Profile Cases Linked to Accused
Investigators have connected Anmol Bishnoi to several prominent criminal cases that have captured national attention. He stands as a key accused in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, a political killing that sent shockwaves through Maharashtra's political circles.
Beyond this, authorities have established links to two other sensational cases: the shooting incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence and the brutal killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. These connections demonstrate the far-reaching influence of the network allegedly operated by the Bishnoi group.
International Terror-Gangster Network Exposed
The NIA's investigation has uncovered a sophisticated network operating across international borders. According to agency officials, Anmol played a pivotal role in a terror-gangster nexus involving Babbar Khalsa International, a banned terrorist organization.
From his overseas base, Bishnoi allegedly facilitated multiple criminal activities including extortion schemes, funding operations, recruitment drives, and logistics management for various criminal enterprises. His international position made him particularly valuable to the network's operations.
The pattern of operating from foreign soil has become increasingly common among criminal networks seeking to evade Indian law enforcement. Anmol's deportation from the United States represents a significant victory for international cooperation in combating transnational crime.
As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to uncover more details about the sophisticated methods used by these networks to coordinate criminal activities across borders while remaining insulated from direct law enforcement action in India.
