Summary: Anmol Bishnoi, brother of Lawrence Bishnoi, was deported from the US to India on several serious criminal charges, according to US and Indian sources.

The US has sent back around 200 Indian nationals, and among them were two men Punjab Police had been hunting for a long time. One of them is Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and the other is another wanted criminal linked to several cases back home.

According to reports, they were caught in the US for immigration violations and were eventually deported. Once they landed in India, central agencies and the Punjab Police immediately took custody.

Anmol Bishnoi has been on India's radar for his suspected involvement in several high-profile crimes, including the Sidhu Moosewala case and gang-related extortion networks operating from abroad. His return is regarded as a significant catch for investigators, as he had been operating from outside India for years.

Officials believe the deportation is part of a larger campaign in which the US has tightened regulations on illegal immigration, which is why so many Indian nationals were deported together.

For now, both deported men are being questioned, and agencies are trying to trace the networks they were running while staying overseas.
