According to a recent report on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement website, Anmol Bishnoi is being held at the Pottawattamie County Jail in Iowa.
Younger brother Anmol, wanted for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique and firing outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home, has been arrested by U.S. law enforcement authorities and is currently lodged in a prison in Iowa.
According to a recent update on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement website, Anmol Bishnoi is lodged at Pottawattamie County Jail in Iowa.
Anmol, who was believed to be living in Canada and making regular trips to the U.S., is the younger brother of Lawrence, who is accused of running a global criminal syndicate despite being in jail. Lawrence is currently lodged in Sabarmati Central Jail, Ahmedabad.
Anmol is wanted in connection with several criminal cases, including the murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and former Maharashtra minister Siddique last month in Mumbai’s Bandra area. He was also allegedly behind the firing outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s home, located in the Bandra area, in April 14 this year.
India has asked for Anmol’s extradition. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) also recently announced a reward of₹10 lakh for information leading to Anmol’s arrest.
Earlier this week, the U.S. State Department had declined to comment on the possibility of deporting Anmol, saying the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
