Anmol Bishnoi's family urges Centre to ensure his safety over suspected target of rival gangs
PTC News Desk: Following deportation of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol Bishnoi, his family has urged Centre to ensure his safety. The family wants explicit protective measures to ensure he isn’t harmed, either by rival gangs or others who might want to target him,” said Ramesh, who is a paternal cousin of Anmol and his brother Lawrence Bishnoi. He added that they had come to know from media sources that rival gang members could harm him.
"The law will take its course. Our family respects the law and we are law-abiding people, but today our main concern is that if he (Anmol Bishnoi) is being brought to India, the Indian government should ensure his safety. This will be our demand," Ramesh said
Stressing that his cousin is innocent, Ramesh said the truth will come out and Anmol will be proven innocent. "We have always respected the law and will continue to do so... He (Anmol Bishnoi) is being punished only for being Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother. The investigation will reveal everything," he added.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday arrested Anmol Bishnoi, brother and close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, following his deportation from the United States to India.
Wanted since 2022, US-based Anmol Bishnoi became the 19th accused to be arrested in connection with the terror-gangster syndicate led by Lawrence Bishnoi. The NIA had filed a chargesheet against him in March 2023 after investigations confirmed his involvement in aiding designated individual terrorist Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in multiple terror-related activities carried out between 2020 and 2023.
