Mumbai Police has initiated the process for the extradition of Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, wanted in the NCP leader Baba Siddique murder case and firing at actor Salman Khan’s Bandra residence.
Anmol, brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, faces two cases registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and 18 other criminal cases. Sources suspect him to be holed up in Canada.
Mumbai Police began the process of extradition by filing a petition in the court. Meanwhile, some media reports have claimed that US agencies alerted the Mumbai Police about Anmol’s whereabouts.
Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar, was killed after being shot by three individuals in Bandra East, Mumbai, on Saturday evening.
The 66-year-old politician was shot in the chest after which he was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he succumbed to the injuries. The leader had received a death threat just 15 days ago and was under ‘Y’ category security.
The Mumbai Police, in a statement, confirmed that the firing took place outside the office of his MLA son, Zeeshan Siddique, near Colgate Ground in Nirmal Nagar. Two to three rounds were fired.
