Wanted in Sidhu Moose Wala Murder case, Sachin Bishnoi, an aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been brought to India from Azerbaijan.
Sachin, a relative of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, had been absconding after the sensational murder of Moosewala in May 2022, news agency ANI reported.
According to reports, Bishnoi who hails from Punjab’s Fazilka was detained in Azerbaijan in August last year.
A few days before Sidhu Moosewala’s murder, Bishnoi fled the country using a forged passport.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had arrested notorious jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's key aide Vikramjeet Singh alias Vikram Brar, after his deportation from United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India.
A few days back, the NIA had arrested Vikramjeet Singh alias Vikram Brar, a key aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, immediately after his deportation from UAE to India on Tuesday, news agency ANI reported. A team from NIA had gone to UAE to facilitate this deportation and bring him back to India.
“Brar, involved in the sensational killing of famous Punjabi Singer Shubhdeep Singh alias Sidhu Moosewala, was taken into custody by the NIA. Besides targeted killings of innocent people and businessmen, he was involved in cases of smuggling of weapons and extortion in India with the help of dreaded gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar and others,” NIA said in a statement.
"Absconding since 2020, Brar was wanted in at least 11 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion under various sections of IPC as well as the Arms Act. Eleven look out notices had been issued against him by competent authority on request by various State Police, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi," a statement issued by the NIA said.
According to a report by news agency PTI, the arrest was made in connection with a terror-gangster conspiracy case that the federal agency is investigating. The NIA has arrested 16 persons in connection with the case so far.
