Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, wanted in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, was on Wednesday sent to 11-day custody of the National Investigation Agency by the Patiala House Court in Delhi.
Special Public Prosecutor Rahul Tyagi, appearing for the NIA with Advocate Kushdeep Gaur, outlined in court Anmol’s suspected role in the Bishnoi crime syndicate. A key member of the network, Anmol, had been absconding since 2022 and is the nineteenth accused to be arrested in connection with
the terror gangster syndicate led by his jailed brother, Lawrence Bishnoi.
The NIA said custodial interrogation was necessary to uncover the broader operational structure of the group. The agency told the court that it needed to question Bishnoi to trace the source of funds, identify other members, and understand how the syndicate operated.
The agency added that Bishnoi’s statements could help lead investigators to more individuals linked to the network.
