Sidhu Moosewala murder case accused Sachin Bishnoi alias Sachin Thapan was extradited to India from Baku, Azerbaijan on Tuesday by Delhi Police Special Cell.
A news report on Monday cited that the Special Cell's team was sent to Azerbaijan to bring back Sachin Bishnoi, who had fled the country with forged documents. The team reached Azerbaijan on Sunday and were in the process of completing the legal formalities
A Central Bureau of Investigation official said to Hindustan Times “He fled to Dubai on a fake passport issued in the name of Tilak Raj Tuteja, a resident of Sangam Vihar in southeast Delhi. Later, he took a flight to Azerbaijan’s capital Baku, where he was detained," said the officer, asking not to be named.
The officer said Sachin Bishnoi moved an appeal before a higher appellate authority in Azerbaijan to avoid his extradition. “When it was rejected there earlier this month [July], we apprised the development to the [Union] ministry of home affairs (MHA), which asked the Delhi Police to go ahead to bring the gangster back," he added.
