NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody of international gangster Anmol Bishnoi, brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was extended by seven days on Saturday.
For security reasons, the NIA judge personally visited the NIA Headquarters, where the hearing was held due to perceived threats to Anmol Bishnoi. His custody has now been extended until December 5.
Earlier, on November 19, a special court had remanded Anmol Bishnoi to 11 days of NIA custody.
According to the NIA, Anmol is a key member of the BKI–Bishnoi gangster syndicate and played an active role in running its operations. His suspected Khalistani links, along with his involvement in the broader criminal network, remain key areas of investigation.
