Quick Read
Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, who allegedly masterminded the conspiracy to murder NCP leader Baba Siddique, operated his crime syndicate from abroad using Snapchat’s disappearing chats, screenshot alerts and cloud-cloned accounts, according to sources familiar with the probe. Anmol, now arrested by the NIA,
relied almost entirely on digital platforms designed to leave minimal forensic trace.
In a statement, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said Anmol is the 19th accused arrested in the Lawrence Bishnoi-led terror-gangster network. According to the NIA, he used his base in the United States to “run the syndicate’s operations, direct terrorist activities and coordinate with shooters on the ground” for the Bishnoi gang. He also allegedly “provided shelter, funding and logistical support” and was involved in extortion from abroad.
