New Delhi: According to Indian officials acquainted with the matter, Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of incarcerated mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, was taken into custody by U.S. authorities in California on Monday.
However, the Indian officials stated that they now lack formal confirmation.
“We have learnt from our sources that Anmol Bishnoi, who was running the gang’s activities along with Goldy Brar and was operating from the US, has been detained in California about four to five days back. We are trying to get more details through official channels,” said an officer, who asked not to be named.
This is the second major detention of wanted gangsters – after Arshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla’s detention in Canada late last month.
