Anmol Bishnoi, brother of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has filed a protection application, citing “apprehension of being targeted and killed” by a Pakistani gangster, Shehzad Bhatti, allegedly due to his recent posts on social media.
Anmol is under the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) after he was arrested by the agency upon his deportation from the US.
“Due to continuing threats, the applicant (Anmol here) and his family members are living under constant fear, mental trauma and apprehension of imminent danger,” the plea said.
“Such threats cannot be taken lightly, as recent incidents clearly demonstrate that online threats have translated into real-world violent attacks.”
Further in the plea, Anmol sought the court to issue directions to the investigating agency to provide him adequate armed police protection during transit from the NIA headquarters to the court premises.
