Major Break in Siddique Case: US Removes Anmol Bishnoi, Prime Accused in Baba Siddique Killing

In a significant development in the Baba Siddique murder case, Anmol Bishnoi, a prime suspect connected to the killing of former NCP leader Baba Siddique, has been deported from the United States to India, according to multiple sources.

Deportation Details & Arrival

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reportedly issued a notification confirming Anmol Bishnoi was “removed” from the United States on November 18, 2025. He is expected to land in Delhi within hours, after which he will likely be taken into custody by Indian authorities.

Charges & Background

·         Baba Siddique Murder: Bishnoi is accused of being a key conspirator in the October 12, 2024 murder of Baba Siddique, which took place outside Siddique’s son’s office in Bandra, Mumbai.

·         Broader Criminal Cases: He is also wanted in multiple other high-profile cases, including the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and a separate incident of gunfire near Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai.

·         Mastermind Role: According to Mumbai Police, Bishnoi provided financial support and direction to the shooters involved in the Siddique killing.

Legal History

·         A special court in Mumbai had issued a non-bailable warrant against Anmol Bishnoi earlier in 2025.

·         Authorities had requested his extradition from the United States to face trial in India.

Significance & Implications

1.      Major Law Enforcement Victory: Bishnoi’s deportation marks a strong success for Indian investigative agencies in their efforts to bring a major fugitive to justice.

2.      Cross-Border Criminal Networks: The case underlines the transnational operations of the Bishnoi crime gang, led in part by his brother, Lawrence Bishnoi.

3.      Public & Political Impact: Siddique’s family and political circles may view this as a breakthrough, and the arrest could renew focus on the broader conspiracy behind the murder.

4.      Judicial Process Ahead: Once back in India, Bishnoi is expected to be formally presented before a court, and his deportation could accelerate the trial process against him and other accused.

Reactions

·         Victim’s Family: Siddique’s son, Zeeshan Siddique, welcomed the news, calling for thorough interrogation and swift justice.

·         Law Enforcement: Agencies like the Mumbai Crime Branch and other investigating bodies are expected to intensify their efforts now that one of the key absconding accused is back on Indian soil.

·         Public Sentiment: The deportation has triggered strong media coverage and public debate on cross-border crime, gangster networks, and India’s capacity to enforce law and order even on fugitives overseas.

Next Steps

·         Indian authorities will likely produce Bishnoi before a court, possibly under stringent security.

·         Investigators will re-examine evidence gathered so far, including phone records, communication channels, and financial trails.

·         The case may deepen: law enforcement may probe Bishnoi’s international connections, funding routes, and possible collaborators.
