Moosewala Case: Sachin Bishnoi stayed in UP with shooters before executing murder plan

New Delhi: Sachin Bishnoi, alias Sachin Thappan, who was extradited from Azerbaijan earlier this month in connection with the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, stayed with the gang members even before executing the murder plan, sources in investigating agency have revealed.

At the behest of jailed gangster Lawrance Bishnoi, a farmhouse in Ayodhya was used by shooters for several days, where they practiced firing with their high-end weapons imported from across the borders.

Investigating agencies have now begun to identify the Bishnoi gang’s associates in Uttar Pradesh. Delhi Police will take Thapan to Ayodhya to probe the case for further probe and linkage.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Court has remanded Bishnoi to 10 days of police custody for further questioning into several cases, including the murder of Subhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Moosewala.

Sources claim that Bishnoi was involved in the conspiracy and handling of logistics for the murder.

When he was in Dubai, he thought he could be extradited from there since India had good relations with the UAE, so he went to Baku, as sources claimed.

Bishnoi was detained in Azerbaijan in August of last year and had applied for bail, which was rejected.

Sachin Bishnoi is wanted in five criminal cases, including Arms Act violations, murder, and attempted murder, related to the Lawrence Bishnoi crime group.

“Last year, on March 30, a case was registered against the Lawrence Bishnoi gang at the Mohan Garden police station, where the gang injured a real estate businessman and demanded Rs 1 crore from him,” said Dhaliwal.

“During the investigation, it was found that Sachin Bishnoi had marked the location before the crime and had taken away some weapons used in the incident. His involvement in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case was also discovered during the investigation of the case registered under MCOCA against the gang,” said Dhaliwal.

“The collective efforts of Delhi Police and Indian diplomatic representatives in Azerbaijan led to the apprehension of Sachin Bishnoi, considering his dangerous criminal associates who might have attempted to stop his deportation,” said the Special CP.
