Controversies | Anmol's Gang: Crime Spree and Takedown in Punjab: Following the capture of Lawrence Bishnoi and his cohorts on March 5, 2015, near the India-Pakistan border, Anmol reportedly formed a gang of young individuals hailing from Abohar, Punjab. This group engaged in numerous armed heists and extortion schemes. In July 2015, Fazilka police apprehended Anmol and his associates, including Sachin Thapan, Ankit Bhadoo, Ankit Jakhar, Arzoo Thalour, Praveen Gogi, and Vikram. During their arrest, authorities confiscated Rs. 1.75 lakhs, six homemade .12 bore revolvers, two .315 bore pistols, two .32 bore pistols, a .12-bore DBBL gun, and a pair of motorcycles. [2]The Tribune Multiple Criminal Charges and Imprisonment in a Rajasthan Jail: In July 2020, Anmol was imprisoned in a Rajasthan jail for his alleged role in a case involving a ransom call to a Muktsar-based mobile phone dealer, demanding Rs. 10 lakhs on 4 July 2020. Muktsar City SHO Mohan Lal, in an interview, stated that Anmol was implicated in 12 criminal cases including murder, attempted murder, and ransom in Rajasthan and Punjab in 2020. [3]Hindustan Times Absconder in Sidhu Moose Wala Murder Case: On 29 May 2022, Sidhu Moose Wala was killed in a drive-by shooting near Jawaharke village, Mansa, Punjab by unidentified assailants. Shortly after his death, Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the murder through a social media post, which read, Today, Moosewala was killed in Punjab, I, Sachin Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi take the responsibility. It’s our work. Moosewala’s name surfaced in our brother Vikramjit Singh Middukhera and Gurlal Brar’s murder, but the Punjab Police did not take any action against him. We also came to know that Moosewala was also involved in the encounter of our associate Ankit Bhadu. Moosewala was working against us. Delhi Police had taken his name but Moosewala used his political power and saved his skin each time." Anmol Bishnoi is said to be accused of Sidhu's murder. He allegedly fled from India to Kenya via Nepal and Canada a month prior to the murder of Moose Wala, while Sachin Thapan (alias Sachin Bishnoi) reportedly left with Anmol to Azerbaijan. Anmol and Sachin fled using fake passports under the names "Bhanu Pratap" and "Tilak Raj" respectively. Interpol subsequently issued a Red Corner Notice against Anmol. In September 2022, Anmol and Sachin were apprehended in Kenya and Azerbaijan respectively as announced by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi during a media briefing. [4]The Tribune Firing outside Salman Khan's residence On the morning of 14 April 2024, two motorbike-borne unidentified persons opened fire outside the Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai, where Salman Khan resides. Hours after the firing, Anmol Bishnoi, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, took to social media to claim the responsibility for the attack. [5]Hindustan Times Alleged Murder of Baba Siddique In October 2024, three armed assailants assassinated prominent Maharashtra leader Baba Siddique. After their arrest, the men revealed that they had been contacted by Anmol through Snapchat, who provided them with weapons and cash to carry out the killing.

He was reportedly arrested in November 2024 in California. |

Some Lesser Known Facts About Anmol Bishnoi
- Anmol Bishnoi is an Indian boxer and gangster who stands accused of the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. He is one of the individuals evading capture in the case.
- Anmol hails from a wealthy family that owns a commercial plot and three houses in Abohar; however, these properties lie vacant and neglected due to the absence of a caretaker. It is said that his ancestors owned vast tracts of land in Duttaranwali village. Furthermore, his parents have substantial landholdings in Abohar, Jodhpur, and Bikaner, amassing over a hundred acres. Since they cannot cultivate the land personally, they have leased it out.
- The family holds such a respected position in the village that residents are unwilling to divulge their address to visitors who aim to disturb or interrogate them regarding their sons.
- There are conflicting reports about his father, Lavinder Singh’s profession. While some sources claim that he served as a police constable in the Haryana Police Department for a brief period, others suggest that he only worked as a zamindar and never joined the police department.

- His mother, Sunita, filed nomination papers for the 2018 Sarpanch elections; however, she withdrew her candidacy after another nominee named Surinder Bhagria filed papers as she preferred to contest the elections without any opposition. [7]The Indian Express
- In April 2023, Anmol reportedly attended a reception in the United States, where he was seen with Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and Sharry Mann. Both Aujla and Mann later posted stories on their social media accounts, clarifying that they were unaware of Anmol’s presence at the event until they saw videos on social media. They explained that they were performing at the reception after being booked through a mutual friend. Anmol’s presence at the event, despite the Interpol Red Corner Notice against him, raised concerns and sparked questions about his ability to travel without hindrance. In an interview, Sidhu Moose Wala’s father expressed his disappointment in a reaction to the viral video of Anmol, lamenting that the fugitive could travel freely and partake in the celebrations. [8]The Quint He said,
I had read reports that Anmol Bishnoi has been detained. Then how did he reach America? I feel sometimes these updates are given just to fool people.”
