Prime accused in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, Sachin Bishnoi alias Sachin Thapan has been extradited to India from Baku, Azerbaijan, Delhi Police Special Cell Commissioner HGS Dhaliwal said. Bishnoi, a relative of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, had been absconding after the sensational murder of Moosewala in May 2022.  Sachin had claimed responsibility for Moosewala’s murder on Facebook. He was fighting a legal battle in Azerbaijan to avoid extradition to India after he was detained there in August last year. Sachin hails from Punjab’s Fazilka.
The development comes after the National Investigating Agency successfully extradited gangster Vikramjeet Singh, also known as Vikram Brar, from the United Arab Emirates earlier this month. Brar, is a close aide of Lawrence Bishnoi, and is facing charges in several cases connected to the activities of the gang, including the one linked to the targeted killing of Moosewala
