State Department Declines Comment On Anmol Bishnoi’s Extradition

WASHINGTON DC (ANI) – The US State Department on November 18 declined to comment on the potential deportation of Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, who is wanted in connection with a firing incident outside actor Salman Khan’s residence.

The State Department stated that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This development follows Anmol Bishnoi’s detention in California by US immigration officials. Reports have suggested that FBI officials and Indian security agencies have discussed the possibility of deporting him.

US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said, “It would be appropriate if anyone is going to comment on such a report, it would be the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, not the State Department. I prefaced it that way because they may decline to comment, but I certainly am not going to comment on something that falls within their jurisdiction.”

Earlier, on October 25, India’s National Investigation Agency had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for Anmol Bishnoi’s arrest. He is charged in two NIA cases registered in 2022.
