Moosewala Murder- Punjab Police get gangster Sachin Bishnoi detained at Azerbaijan while Anmol Bishnoi traced to Kenya

New Delhi, August 30

In a major development in Punjab singer Sidhu Moosewala murder case, the Punjab Police have got gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's aide Sachin Bishnoi detained in Azerbaijan while the location of another prime accused Anmol Bishnoi, has been traced to Kenya. 

The Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) led by ADGP Pramod Ban with AIG Gurmeet Chauhan and DSP Bikramjit Brar had traced Anmol’s movement.

The duo had fled India on fake passports before the crime was committed on May 29.

The police said that the key suspect, Sachin Bishnoi, used a fake passport for international travel. He had changed his identity to Tilak Raj Toteja.

He has been on the run after Canada based gangster Goldy Brar had claimed responsibility for the killing of Moosewala near his native village in the Mansa district of Punjab on May 29.

The Interpol had earlier issued a Red Corner Notice against Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar. 

Last month, Ambala police arrested four shooters of the Goldy Brar gang involved in the shooting of Punjabi singer and politician Sidhu Moose Wala. The shooters were working for Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar.

The Punjab Police and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) are moving swiftly to extradite Sachin Bishnoi. The officials stated that the state police were working round the clock to arrest Anmol, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi who has been listed as the mastermind in the case. The AGTF and the Mansa police are also learnt to be preparing documents to extradite Sachin. Sachin and Anmol are among the four gangsters who were allegedly involved in the sensational killing and were hiding abroad. The other two are Goldy Brar and Lipin Nehra.

Police officials said Lawrence Bishnoi had, in a well-hatched conspiracy to protect his brother Anmol and close associate Sachin, procured fake passports for them. The passports were issued by the Regional Passport Office, Delhi. 

The officials said Lawrence wanted the duo to co-ordinate and execute the crime from abroad without being noticed or held culpable. Anmol has 18 criminal cases pending against him and he was last in Jodhpur jail from where he was released on bail on October 7, 2021. Similarly, Sachin is wanted in 12 criminal cases.
