Baba Siddique murder case accused Anmol Bishnoi ‘removed from United States’; Zeeshan Siddique seeks his immediate extradition to India

MUMBAI: Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother Anmol Bishnoi, who is wanted in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in October last year, has been “removed from the United States” and should be brought back to India to make sure that he’s interrogated and arrested, Baba Siddique’s son Zeeshan Siddique said on Tuesday.

Zeeshan Siddique said that they have received an email stating that the federal government has removed Anmol Bishnoi from the United States as of November 18.

“My family has registered as a victim family in the United States. From the victim notification, we get updates about Anmol Bishnoi. Today, we’ve got a mail that the federal government has removed Anmol Bishnoi from the United States as of November 18. The question arises whether he is being deported to India? My strong request to the central government is to bring him back if he’s removed from America, and for the state government as well, to bring him back to Mumbai and to make sure that he’s interrogated and arrested,” Zeeshan Siddique said.

“He’s a threat to society. He was named in my father’s murder. In Salman Khan’s case, his name has been arising frequently. It’s very important for us to know who has asked Anmol Bishnoi to do this. For that, they need to bring Anmol Bishnoi back to Mumbai, and if he’s been removed from America, then it’s a very good opportunity for the Indian government to intervene and make sure he’s deported back to India,” Zeeshan Siddique added.

Anmol Bishnoi is the younger brother of ganster Lawrence Bishnoi. Zeeshan Siddique said that they are still awaiting justice and the full conspiracy behind his father’s murder should come out. Baba Siddique, former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader, was shot down in Bandra in October last year.

“We are still awaiting justice. It’s been more than a year and I feel like, somewhere down the line, justice has not been served yet. We are in the court for it, and the people who have done it are behind bars, but who has actually asked the murderer? Because nobody’s going to do it just for their own sake, because my father didn’t have anything to do with Bishnoi. Who has asked Anmol Bishnoi or the henchmen to do that? It’s very important for us to know that. For today, if Anmol Bishnoi has been removed by the United States, he should be brought to Mumbai and interrogated for sure,” Zeeshan Siddique said.

Zeeshan Siddique received mail from the US Department of Homeland Security Victim Information Notification Exchange (DHS-VINE) that Anmol Bishnoi has been “removed by from the United States by the federal government”.

The Bombay High Court last week sought a reply from the state government on a petition filed by Shehzeen Siddique, widow of Baba Siddique, over the demand for a court-monitored probe by an independent agency or a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the murder case. (ANI)
