The three shooters whose names have surfaced in the Baba Siddiqui murder case were in contact with Anmol Bishnoi, younger brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, before this high-profile murder. According to the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police, Anmol was in contact with these three shooters through the Snapchat app. After his name was revealed, the National Investigation Agency offered a reward of Rs 10 lakh. Furthermore, the Crime Branch has so far arrested 10 people in connection with the Baba Siddiqui murder case, who are being continuously interrogated.
This is how the Lawrence gang connection came to light
Gurmail Singh and Dharmendra Kashyap… are the same two shooters, who were arrested immediately after Baba Siddiqui was shot in Bandra on the night of October 11. According to sources in the Mumbai Crime Branch, which is investigating the Baba Siddiqui murder case, both the shooters were in constant contact with Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, before the murder. I was talking to him on Snapchat.
10 people arrested so far
Let us tell you that so far the police have arrested a total of 10 people in connection with the Baba Siddiqui murder case conspiracy. The Crime Branch has received a total of 4 phones from the people involved in this conspiracy. Which confirms that the shooter was in contact with Anmol Bishnoi through Snapchat before the murder of Baba Siddiqui. According to Crime Branch sources, the three shooters who were to carry out this task were Gurmail Singh, Dharmendra Kashyap and Shivkumar. All three were talking to Anmol Bishnoi on Snapchat at different times.
Anmol is also wanted in Galaxy Shootout
According to Crime Branch sources, this is the first evidence to prove that the shooter in the Baba Siddiqui murder case was in direct contact with Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother Anmol Bishnoi. However, this does not surprise the Mumbai Police. Because Anmol Bishnoi is also wanted in the shooting that took place at Galaxy Apartment, Salman Khan’s house in April this year. After interrogation of the 10 detainees, it is now almost clear that Shivkumar played the role of the main shooter among those who shot Baba Siddiqui, who is still far from the police. According to Crime Branch sources, apart from the three shooters, Parveen Lonkar arrested in Pune was also in direct contact with Anmol Bishnoi.
That is why a reward of Rs 10 lakh was kept on Anmol.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency i.e. NIA has announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for Lawrence’s brother Anmol Bishnoi. The NIA has taken these steps after evidence that Anmol Bishnoi was in contact with the shooters in the Galaxy shooting case at Salman’s house and now in the Baba Siddiqui murder case. However, the NIA is already searching for Anmol Bishnoi. He had absconded after the Sidhu Moosewala murder case.
Portugal IP Addresses
Initially there was news of its sighting in Kenya. But two years ago, in April 2023, Anmol Bishnoi was seen at a show in Bakersfield, US state of California. Pictures of Anmol Bishnoi taking a selfie on stage during Punjabi singer Aujla and Sheriman’s show had surfaced on social media. However, many posts of Anmol Bishnoi were posted on social media, especially Facebook. When his IP address was investigated, it was discovered that the IP address was from Portugal.
Anmol had fled with a fake passport
Currently, the only news about Anmol Bishnoi is that he secretly lives in the United States and often comes to Canada. According to the NIA, after the murder of Sidhu Moosewala, to escape from the police, Lawrence sent his brother Anmol Bishnoi with a fake passport to Dubai via Nepal, then from Dubai to Kenya and from there to the United States.
11 cases are registered against Anmol
A total of 11 cases have been registered against Anmol Bishnoi, including the shooting at Sidhu Moosewala and Salman’s house, Galaxy. Before fleeing the country, Anmol Bishnoi was lodged in Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan in a murder case. He got out after getting bail in that case on October 7, 2021. And after that he never came into contact with the law again. In January this year, the NIA announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for Anmol Bishnoi only after evidence was recovered during raids at 32 different locations in the country.
Guns, cash and digital evidence.
In fact, the NIA had conducted raids at different locations in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Chandigarh and recovered a large cache of weapons, cash and some digital evidence from there. From this evidence, information was obtained about the connection between Band Babbar Khalsa International and Lawrence Gang Syndicate. Many important evidences against Anmol Bishnoi were also found in these evidences.
Practice shooting by watching YouTube
On the other hand, police are still searching for the remaining four absconding accused in the Baba Siddiqui murder case. Meanwhile, many new revelations have come to light during the interrogation of the remaining four arrested accused. According to sources in the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police, two of the three shooters, Gurmail Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap, had practiced shooting by watching videos on YouTube for about 15 days before shooting Baba Siddiqui. To do this, they both practiced pulling the trigger and aiming without inserting the magazine into the gun. Two pistols used in the shooting have also been recovered from those arrested.
Several attempts were made to kill Baba.
During interrogation, it was also revealed that the shooters had made similar attempts at least 10 times before shooting Baba Siddiqui on October 12. During this time he reached many places where Baba Siddiqui was present. But he didn’t have a chance to shoot. The reason was that sometimes Baba Siddiqui was surrounded by his followers, sometimes the security around him was tight and sometimes the shooters did not find an open space to commit the crime. After this, during Reiki, he decided to photograph Baba Siddiqui outside his son Zeeshan’s office, because there was an open area outside Zeeshan’s office. From where there were many ways to escape.
This is how Harish Kumar’s name came to light
The crime branch of the Mumbai Police arrested Gurmail Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap from the spot on the night of the incident in connection with the murder of Baba Siddiqui. The third accused, Parveen Lonkar, was nabbed from Pune. After interrogating these three, the name of another person involved in the conspiracy came to light. Harish Kumar Nishad. Harish Kumar also runs a scrap shop similar to Parveen’s stable in Pune. According to police sources, Parveen had given Rs 60,000 to Nishad. To buy an old bicycle. The shooters had to recognize Baba Siddiqui from this bike. After buying an old bike in Pune, Nishad reached Mumbai riding the same bike on his own. In Mumbai, he handed over this bike to the shooters who were in Kurla. The police recovered this bike from the same house in Kurla.
The truth came out during the interrogation.
The story that came out during the interrogation of the arrested accused is that Zeeshan Akhtar, a resident of Shakar village of Jalandhar, Punjab, was lodged in Patiala jail in a case of murder and robbery. He has his own gang. He was lodged in Patiala Jail from the year 2022 to June 2024. It was here that he met some agents of Lawrence Gang. Apart from this, he also met Gurmail Singh during his stay in prison. Who was serving time for the murder of his older brother. On June 7 this year, Zeeshan was released from jail on bail. Meanwhile, Gurmail had also been released from prison on bail. Zeeshan had gone to Gurmail’s house in Kaithal and met him. After this he went to Mumbai.
Zeeshan had organized shooters
According to Mumbai Police, during his stay in Patiala Jail, Zeeshan Akhtar received his message after speaking to the Lawrence Gang officers. They told him the name of the target. This target was none other than Baba Siddiqui. Now Zeeshan had to take care of the shooters. Watching the way the Lawrence Gang works. Shooters who did not have significant criminal records or were voters would be selected. After this, Zeeshan reached Pune. There he met Shubham alias Shubu Lonkar, who was already working for the Lawrence Gang. He has his own dairy and cowshed in Pune. Next door is a scrap metal warehouse. Dharamraj Kashyap and Shivkumar, who came from Bahraich, UP, used to work in the same warehouse.
Apartment for rent for shooters
Shubham himself had prepared both of them for this job by luring them with money. Now handler Zeeshan had three shooters. Gurmail, Dharamraj and Shivkumar. It was Zeeshan who made arrangements for the stay of these three in Mumbai. I rented a flat for Rs 14,000 in Kurla area of Mumbai. All three lived here. This apartment was rented on September 2. After reaching Mumbai, all three now had only one job. Do recognition of Baba Siddiqui in Bandra East and know when and where he goes. Who do you know? When are you at home? When does the son go to Zeeshan Siddiqui’s office? These three always came to Bandra by car from Kurla. So Baba used to watch Siddiqui’s every move throughout the day.
Two things worry the Mumbai police
However, despite the arrest of the accused, there are two things that still worry the Mumbai Police. No doubt, the two arrested defendants may have old connections with the Lawrence gang. But Mumbai Police still do not have any evidence that Lawrence Gang is involved in Baba Siddiqui’s murder. One Zeeshan and the other Shubham Lonkar undoubtedly had previous contacts with Lawrence Gang, but the three shooters who carried out this act. His relationship with Lawrence has not yet been proven. The picture is still unclear regarding the post which claimed that Lawrence Gang had claimed responsibility for Baba Siddiqui’s murder.
Questions about social media posts too
In fact, this post was deleted immediately after being posted on social media on Sunday morning. This is a screenshot of the post that circulated later. Mumbai Police is also suspicious of this post because earlier, whenever Lawrence Gang published a post, it was posted by his special agent Rohit Godara or Anmol Bishnoi. But there was none of that in this post. Mumbai Police believe there is also a possibility that after publishing the post, Lawrence Gang deleted it. Because the way responsibility was taken in this post. That would have led to another case being filed against Lawrence. But why would Lawrence kill Baba Siddiqui out of office? Mumbai Police is yet to find the answer.
