Anmol Bishnoi — the younger brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently incarcerated in Gujarat’s Sabarmati jail, and one of India’s most-wanted organised crime fugitives — has been deported from the US, marking a major breakthrough for Indian agencies pursuing him in multiple high-profile cases.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) informed the family of slain NCP leader Baba Siddique on Tuesday that Bishnoi was “removed” from American soil. A screenshot of the DHS communication stated: “This email is to inform you that ANMOL BISHNOI has been removed from the United States... The offender was removed on November 18, 2025.”

Bishnoi is believed to be on a plane back to India and is expected to land in Delhi on Wednesday.

Bishnoi, a native of Punjab’s Fazilka district, was on the run since fleeing India on a forged passport in 2021.

Investigators say he first travelled to Nepal before moving through Dubai and Kenya and eventually reaching the US, where he was last publicly seen at an event in Bakersfield, California in April 2023. His arrest early this year set in motion the deportation process that concluded on Tuesday.

HT learns that the US’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement took Bishnoi into custody for his fake passport, and that he was lodged in Pottawattamie County jail , Jowa.
