Wanted for his role in the murder of Punjab singer Sidhu Moose Wala, Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, has been absconding. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) recently announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for information on fugitive Anmol Bishnoi. Known as ‘Bhanu,’ Anmol Bishnoi fled India on a fake passport in 2022 before the execution of the murder.

According to the police, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi helped his brother execute the plan and flee India by procuring a passport for his brother on fake particulars. The passport was issued by the Regional Passport Office, Delhi. Notably, Anmol Bishnoi was sported in Kenya in 2023 and in Canada earlier this year.

Punjab police say Anmol Bishnoi has a criminal past, having been booked in as many as 18 criminal cases. He was in Jodhpur Jail, from where he was released on bail in 2021.

Mumbai police had earlier issued a lookout notice against Anmol in connection with the firing incident outside actor Salman Khan’s residence on April 14. He had claimed responsibility for the incident on social media.

The police said that the Sidhu Moose Wala murder accused has also direct links with shooters of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique outside his son Zeeshan’s office on October 12. Operating from a foreign land, Anmol Bishnoi reportedly used the social media application Snapchat to remain in touch with the accused.
