Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, is now subject to a lookout circular (LOC) in relation to the recent shooting incident outside actor Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai's Bandra.
Lawrence Bishnoi, currently held in Gujarat's Sabarmati jail, may soon be taken into police custody, with authorities considering the possibility of invoking the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in connection with the incident.
Anmol Bishnoi had claimed responsibility for the firing and a probe too showed his involvement, following which the LOC was issued on Friday by the Mumbai police. Anmol and Lawrence Bishnoi have been named as wanted accused in the case. Anmol Bishnoi stays in Canada and travels to the USA. However, the IP address of the Facebook post, through which he claimed responsibility of the firing, was traced to Portugal, the official said.
