New Delhi: Anmol Bishnoi is known in India mainly because of his alleged crime links. He is the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Investigators say he stayed out of the country for several years. During that time his name still appeared in police records. He was marked as wanted in some serious crime cases by agencies. His return to India now puts full focus on his past activities. For many people this is the first time they are hearing his full story.
Extradition means one country sends a person back to face the law in another country. In this case India asked America to send Anmol Bishnoi back. Agencies say they needed to question him directly in several investigations. They claim that many calls and online chats were traced towards him. After legal process abroad he was finally put on a flight to Delhi. At the airport he was taken away under heavy security and away from cameras. His arrival has started a new round of questions in public and political circles.
Police records link his name to more than one high profile case. Investigators have described him as a main accused in the killing of politician Baba Siddique. His name has also appeared in the probe into the firing outside actor Salman Khan’s home. Earlier his role was discussed in the wider network behind singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder. In many of these matters he is accused of planning, support or funding and not direct action. All these allegations still have to be tested in court during full trials. Until then the law treats him as an accused person and not a convicted criminal.
While agencies speak about crime his family presents a very different picture. Relatives say Anmol is being punished only because of his family name. They argue that being the brother of Lawrence Bishnoi does not make him a criminal. The family has asked the government to guarantee his safety in custody. They say they are ready to face any fair trial based on real evidence. Their view finds some support among people who fear misuse of strong legal powers. Others however believe that tough steps are needed if organised crime is to be controlled.
For now the main task lies with national agencies and local police teams. They are going through phone records bank details and travel documents linked to him. Digital experts are checking chats emails and social media handles for deeper patterns. Any unusual flow of money between countries is being marked for closer study. Officials say they want a clean case file that can stand inside a court room. They do not want to depend only on statements or online rumours. This is why the investigation is moving step by step instead of in a rush.
Many crime reporters feel that this case is really about the network and not just one man. The Bishnoi gang name has come up often in stories of contract killings and threats. Investigators hope that questioning Anmol might reveal who gave orders and who arranged money. If strong links are proven old cases might be reopened or joined together. It could also show how gangs use foreign bases and fake identities to avoid arrest. Such details are important if India wants to break long term chains of organised crime. That is why this single extradition is being described as a possible turning point.
Ordinary people are watching this case with sharp interest. They want to see if the law treats powerful crime networks the same as common citizens. A fair trial with open facts can increase trust in the system. But any sign of bias or delay may raise anger and doubt. The final outcome will depend on how honestly evidence is presented in court. In the end this case will be judged not only by law books but also by public memory. People will remember whether this was a real step against organised crime or just another passing headline.
