New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday arrested Anmol Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, in connection with the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. His arrest was recorded upon his arrival at New Delhi airport on Wednesday, after he was "removed" by the US, officials said.

Bishnoi, a younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, will soon be produced before a special court here, they said.

The gangster is also wanted in connection with the firing at Bollywood star Salman Khan's residence in April 2024 and the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, reported PTI.

According to the NIA officials, US authorities had detained Anmol Bishnoi in November last year and deported him from the country on Tuesday.
