To expedite his capture, authorities have issued a Red Corner Notice for Anmol Bishnoi, who faces over 17 criminal charges in India. His involvement is notably alleged in the Salman Khan shooting incident, alongside his brother Lawrence Bishnoi and associate Goldie Brar.
Recently, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) included Anmol Bishnoi on its most-wanted list, offering a reward of ₹10 lakh for information leading to his arrest. In addition, he is wanted in the high-profile murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, where he is alleged to have supplied the imported firearms used in the crime. Police officials indicate that Anmol provided a Turkey-made Tisas pistol and a Glock firearm in connection with the murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddiqui on October 12.
Baba Siddiqui was shot dead by three assailants during a Dussehra celebration, and police investigations have uncovered Anmol’s direct communications with the suspects. He reportedly maintained contact via Snapchat while operating from Canada and the U.S. So far, law enforcement has arrested 10 individuals related to Baba Siddiqui’s murder, including two shooters and an arms supplier.
