Anmol faces multiple criminal charges, including two cases registered by the NIA and 18 other criminal cases.

In the murder of Baba Siddique on October, Mumbai Police have revealed that three suspected shooters involved in the assassination were in contact with Anmol.
Two of the accused, Ramphool Kanjoia and Nitin Sapre, allegedly told investigators that Anmol coordinated the attack. They also claimed that Anmol provided the shooters with photographs of Siddique and his son, Zeeshan.

Both Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi, originally from Fazilka in Punjab, have been named as wanted suspects in the April 14 shooting incident outside Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra, Mumbai. In a Facebook post following the attack, Anmol openly claimed responsibility for the firing incident.
