Lawrence in Sabarmati Jail, Yet Murder Strikes in Punjab

July 9, 2025, 11:41 pm

Stooping down from celebrities to local businessmen, Lawrence Bishnoi is spreading terror not only in Punjab but across the country. From threatening Bollywood star Salman Khan, orchestrating the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, targeting political figure Baba Siddique, to now gunning down a humble businessman in Abohar, the gangster’s reach shows no bounds, and his impunity grows stronger from behind bars. But the horror is no longer confined to headlines. It now burns in the cries of ordinary families.

A Grieving Brother’s Cry Turns into a National Question
“Why should a man who pays taxes, who gives jobs to thousands, be gunned down like this, on the road, in daylight?”
“Why are these monsters being kept safe in jails? Why is the government sheltering them? What do they expect them to do for the country? Why aren’t they being finished?”
These were not political slogans. These were the howling cries of elder brother Jagat Verma, collapsing in grief beside the funeral pyre of Sanjay Verma, a respected cloth merchant from Abohar. His body still smouldering, Jagat’s cries rang out through the crowd gathered at Shivpuri cremation ground, breaking the silence of mourning and reflecting the collective rage of a state under siege.

Daylight Murder Sparks Panic Across Abohar
Sanjay Verma was more than a trader, he was an employer, a known philanthropist, and an honest man. And yet, on July 7, he was shot dead in broad daylight, just steps from his shop. And the gangsters who ordered it? Still breathing, still issuing threats, from jail.
The brazen murder happened around 10:15 am. CCTV footage shows masked assailants approaching Verma outside his “New Wear Well Gents Tailor” showroom, firing multiple bullets, and fleeing. Their escape motorcycle skidded a short distance away, after which they snatched another bike from a passerby and vanished. Within hours, gangster Aarzoo Bishnoi, a close associate of Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the killing on social media.

Fear Shuts Down the City, Anger Mounts
The police have confirmed an FIR under arms and organized crime sections and launched a massive manhunt in and around Fazilka district. But the shock had already ripped through Punjab’s business community. Markets shut down, fear gripped families, and public confidence crumbled again.

BJP Slams AAP Over Law and Order Collapse
During an emotionally charged ‘Arthi Phoonk’ demonstration held by traders in Abohar, Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar addressed the gathering.
“Businessmen in Punjab may soon start paying ransom to gangsters rather than trusting this government for protection,” he warned.
“What happened to Sanjay Verma is proof of how completely the state has failed to protect its own people.”
Jakhar said that the situation in Punjab has spiraled to the point where gangsters now command more fear than the law itself.

Murder Planned from Inside Sabarmati Jail?
The most chilling part of Sanjay Verma’s murder isn’t just that it happened — it’s where it was orchestrated from. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has been confined in Gujarat’s Sabarmati Central Jail since August 28, 2023, in connection with a Rs 194 crore drug smuggling case uncovered by the Gujarat ATS. The drugs were allegedly sourced from Pakistan and intercepted off the Jakhau coast. Bishnoi, already facing over 75 criminal cases, was transferred to Sabarmati under high security following a court production from Punjab.

MHA Notifications Seal Bishnoi Inside Gujarat But Not His Network
Soon after, in August 2023, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an order under Section 268 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which barred his physical movement out of jail — even for court trials. In July 2025, this restriction was extended under Section 303 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), India’s new criminal code. The latest MHA notification confirms that no state police or agency can move or interrogate Lawrence Bishnoi outside Sabarmati Jail until August 2025.

Sabarmati Jail Under Watch, Yet International Nexus Emerges
According to DIG Shweta Shrimali, Superintendent of Sabarmati Central Jail, Bishnoi remains under these restrictions and is classified as a high-risk national security detainee. However, recent investigations have uncovered disturbing allegations — including reports of Bishnoi coordinating with ISI-backed gangster Shehzad Bhatti. A viral video purportedly shows Bhatti and Bishnoi in contact, sparking fears of cross-border planning from within Indian prison walls.

Despite Legal Seals, Bishnoi’s Gang Operates Freely
Despite the legal barricades and constant surveillance, Bishnoi’s gang continues to spread terror across state lines, prompting questions not just about policing, but about the effectiveness of legal confinement as a deterrent.

Punjab’s Anti-Gangster Crackdown: Impressive Stats, Grim Reality
Back in Punjab, DIG AGTF Gurmeet Chauhan said that law enforcement continues to push back, even as the threat morphs with technology and youth manipulation. Under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab formed the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) in April 2022, and since then, the state has witnessed one of the most intensive crackdowns on organized crime. Between April 6, 2022 and June 30, 2025, AGTF and field units have:

Punjab’s Anti-Gangster Drive
• 2,112 gangsters and criminals arrested
• 20 gangsters neutralized in encounters
• 782 gangster/criminal modules busted
• 1,811 illegal weapons recovered
• 473 vehicles seized
Of these, AGTF alone accounted for:
• 36 arrests
• 6 gangsters neutralized
• 130 modules busted
• 311 weapons recovered
• 87 vehicles seized.

Juveniles Recruited, Gang Brand Used for Fake Threats
Yet, even with these staggering numbers, Chauhan points to a deeper crisis. “These gangsters have become role models for some youngsters,” he said. “They’re using juveniles to carry out violent crimes, knowing they’ll face softer legal consequences. Even worse, ordinary criminals are now impersonating Bishnoi’s gang in extortion calls — because the name alone terrifies.”

AAP’s Aman Arora Turns the Heat on BJP
Cabinet Minister Aman Arora added his voice to the outrage, accusing the BJP of politicizing law and order instead of taking accountability for national-level sheltering of criminals. Referring to the recent grenade attack at the residence of former BJP Minister Manoranjan Kalia in Jalandhar, Arora said Punjab Police had arrested the accused within 12 hours, and that the attack was masterminded by Zeeshan Akhtar, linked to both Shehzad Bhatti and Lawrence Bishnoi.
“Instead of applauding Punjab Police, Sunil Jakhar is misleading the public,” Arora said. “Why is Bishnoi still being held under special protection in Gujarat? Despite all these restrictions, he’s still calling shots. What is the Centre trying to protect?”

A Network Beyond Borders, and a Brother’s Haunting Question
Meanwhile, the country continues to watch as a gangster once known only in Punjab grows into a syndicate with arms stretching across India, Canada, Italy, and Australia. With over 75 FIRs, many under UAPA, Lawrence Bishnoi has transformed from a student of law to a lawless icon of digital-era gangsterism.
And back in Abohar, Sanjay Verma’s elder brother, Jagat, still mourns. But more than that — he still demands answers.
His voice is not just that of a grieving brother. It now echoes as a question for a state, for a country, for those in power:
“Why are gangsters safe in jail while honest men burn on pyres?”

THE ISI BACKED NETWORK OF LAWRENCE
The murder of Abohar-based businessman Sanjay Verma has once again drawn attention to a disturbing and evolving threat — the growing nexus between Indian gangster networks and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Investigative agencies have confirmed that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has maintained indirect communication with ISI-backed operatives, most notably Pakistani national Shehzad Bhatti.
Bhatti, who has long been under the radar for his role in cross-border smuggling and targeted attacks in Punjab, is believed to be operating with the support of ISI handlers. Sources in Indian intelligence agencies have linked Bhatti to recent drone drops of arms and explosives, grenade attacks, and the recruitment of sleeper cells in border districts. A recent viral video, allegedly showing Bhatti and Bishnoi in contact, has intensified concerns of a broader design to destabilize Punjab through targeted killings and psychological warfare.
According to Cabinet Minister Aman Arora, the grenade attack on former BJP Minister Manoranjan Kalia’s Jalandhar residence was masterminded by Zeeshan Akhtar, an associate of both Bhatti and Bishnoi. “Despite being in Sabarmati Jail under high-security restrictions, Bishnoi continues to conspire with ISI-backed criminals like Bhatti,” Arora stated, citing intelligence inputs.
Senior jail authorities confirmed that Bishnoi is being held under Section 303 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, which replaced CrPC Section 268, prohibiting his movement or physical production. Yet, reports of his gang’s operational continuity and international connections raise troubling questions.
Security officials believe the Bishnoi-Bhatti-ISI triangle is part of a calculated strategy to provoke communal unrest and terrorize Punjab’s business class and civil society — without crossing the LOC.
This emerging nexus marks a dangerous shift: from gang war to hybrid terrorism.

Shooting at Surrey Trucking Firm Tied to Nijjar’s Cousin, Bishnoi Gang Suspected

June 20, 2025, 11:06 am

Police are looking into a brazen shooting at a Surrey business belonging to Raghbir Singh Nijjar, the cousin of murdered Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The shooting came just hours following a different attempted vandalism at the premises, raising fears of an extortion campaign linked to Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

Shots Fired at Surrey Just Hours After Vandalism Attempt

Surrey Police Service (SPS) stated that the shooting occurred at approximately 3:00 AM on Thursday, June 19, at a business in the 12800 block of 116 Avenue. Officers discovered numerous bullet casings and established that property damage was caused to buildings and automobiles.

“On June 19 at 3:00 am, SPS Frontline officers were dispatched to a business in the 12800 block of 116 Avenue for a report of a shooting. Officers responded and found several shell casings and property damage to buildings and vehicles,” the SPS said.

No one was injured, although staff were on the scene at the time shots were fired, police said. “Officers concluded that nobody suffered any injuries despite staff being on the scene when shots were fired,” police added.

Business Owner Reports Extortion Threat by Bishnoi Gang

The targeted business is a trucking firm supposedly owned by Raghbir Singh Nijjar, reportedly connected to Hardeep Singh Nijjar — a listed Khalistani terrorist who was killed in British Columbia in June 2023. Raghbir Singh blamed the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for the attack based on a reported extortion threat.

He also made known that the same shooting was directed at his home in August last year, further deepening his conviction that the same criminal gang is behind the attacks.

Police Connect Incidents Under Investigation

The police observed that the shooting occurred barely 24 hours after another attack on the same premises. At 3:50 AM on June 18, unidentified suspects tried to burn vehicles with gasoline but were chased away by in-house security.

SPS’s Frontline Investigative Support Team (FLIST) is working on the case, and officers are actively investigating connections to other crime incidents and possible motives. The investigation continues.

Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar Part Ways Amid Rift Over Anmol Bishnoi

June 16, 2025, 5:19 pm

Gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, former university buddies turned global crime barons, have allegedly parted ways, say intelligence sources. The two, celebrated for a bloody empire that included extortion, gunrunning, and high-profile killings, were identified with each other for more than a decade.

Their relationship, which began in about 2011 when Bishnoi was at Panjab University, has since broken apart, which could make it harder for law enforcement agencies to dislodge their international operations. Bishnoi is now in jail in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Jail, while Brar is on the loose and is known to be operating from the United States since 2017.

Crimes That Defined the Bishnoi-Brar Syndicate

The gang has been linked with a number of high-profile murders, including:

NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique in October 2024. Sukhdev Gogamedi, chief of Karni Sena, in December 2023

Sidhu Moose Wala in May 2022, concerning whom Brar explained to the BBC, “In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven. We had no option but to kill him. As simple as that.”

The murder of Siddique was allegedly tied to his support for Salman Khan—another target of Bishnoi due to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. In April 2024, Bishnoi’s gang even opened fire outside Khan’s Mumbai home. Fortunately, the actor was unharmed.

The duo also accepted credit for the killing of pro-Khalistan leaders Sukha Duneke (September 2023) and Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada (June 2023), the latter that led to a diplomatic crisis between India and Canada.

Rift Triggered by Arrest of Anmol Bishnoi in US

Sources reveal the rift intensified after the November 2024 arrest of Lawrence Bishnoi’s younger brother, Anmol, by US immigration for illegal entry. Anmol, wanted in several cases including Siddique’s killing, is fighting an extradition request and has applied for political asylum in the US.

NDTV sources indicated Bishnoi believed he was let down by Brar and his present partner Rohit Godara, who purportedly provided no support during Anmol’s bail bond hearing. Although bail was granted to Anmol, today he has a GPS anklet to wear.

New Alliances Formed Amid Gang Fallout

Following this fallout, Bishnoi reportedly severed ties with Brar and formed a new alliance with Noni Rana, the younger brother of Haryana-based gangster Kala Rana. Over recent months, Noni’s network has allegedly helped Bishnoi collect extortion money and ransom.

Intelligence agencies picked up on the new alignment when Bishnoi’s name was missing from a recent killing in Canada. That hit, claimed by Brar and Godara alone, raised eyebrows.

Territorial disputes may have also contributed. Kala Jatheri, another Haryana gangster and relative of Bishnoi’s new ally, reportedly resented Brar and Godara’s intrusion into his turf.

Meanwhile, Goldy Brar has tightened his ties with Rohit Godara, who currently operates out of Azerbaijan.

Gangland Shake-Up Complicates Police Operations

This division not only redesigns the criminal scene but also complicates law enforcement operations. With the gang now divided across borders and fresh alliances brewing, the job of breaking down their chains becomes more difficult for Indian and international agencies alike.

The intelligence establishment continues to track the changing scenario as a new gangland matrix takes shape after the Bishnoi-Brar breakdown.

Salman Khan Upgrades Security After Shooting Incident At Galaxy Apartments

January 7, 2025, 2:02 pm

The Galaxy Apartments in Bandra upgraded its security measures in response to the gunshot incident outside Salman Khan’s home. High-definition CCTV cameras, bulletproof windows, and a contemporary security system to identify questionable activities were all part of this makeover. Salman Khan welcomes his admirers from the apartment’s balcony, which has been strengthened with bulletproof glass. Salman Khan’s parents reside on the ground floor of the building, while he resides in a one-bedroom home on the ground floor.

The security improvements come after two men on a bike shot at Salman Khan’s house on April 14 and then ran away. The actor feels that the incident was an attempt on his life and attributes it to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The issue stems from Salman Khan’s conviction in the Blackbuck poaching case in 1998. Salman Khan received numerous threats from Bishnoi, who revere Blackbucks as sacred animals. This was held to be a significant issue of an escalation to the present threats.

Tension heightened further when, in October, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan, was murdered in Mumbai. The brother of Lawrence Bishnoi, Anmol, is a key suspect in the case and is currently detained in the US. According to the police investigation, Siddique’s ties to Salman Khan were likely a motive for the murder.

Earlier, even Salman Khan had received a threat when an unknown caller demanded ₹2 crore from him, and he sent multiple WhatsApp messages to the Mumbai Police’s traffic helpline. A case has been registered with Worli police in this connection.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s Deadly Offer: Shooter Gautam Confesses To Rs 12 Lakh Payment And Jail Escape Plan

November 29, 2024, 7:46 am

In a new twist to the ongoing investigation of the murder of Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique, the main shooter, Shiv Kumar Gautam, has admitted that he had direct communication with the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi before killing him. The Crime Branch interrogated Gautam during which he narrated shocking facts about his connection with Bishnoi gang and all the promises they made to him in case he is arrested.

Shooter’s Confession: Ties with Lawrence Bishnoi

Gautam, who has been arrested from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh, said he had been chatting online with Lawrence Bishnoi, the main man of the notorious Bishnoi gang while he was staying in Pune. Gautam said that Bishnoi had told him that he was not worried if he would be caught by the police after killing Baba Siddique. Gautam said that Bishnoi had told him that he would get him out of jail in a few days and had even given him ₹12 lakh as advance payment.

A Gangster’s Assurance: Release and Relocation

The confession further revealed that Bishnoi had guaranteed Gautam’s release using his powerful network of lawyers, emphasizing that the shooter would be free within a few days after his arrest. Moreover, Bishnoi promised to arrange for Gautam’s relocation abroad once he was released, ensuring his safety and continued protection under the gang’s influence.

This revelation marks the first mention of Lawrence Bishnoi’s involvement in the high-profile murder case, significantly expanding the scope of the investigation.

Brainwashing and Indoctrination: A Disturbing Trend

According to a Crime Branch official, the confession sheds light on the extent of brainwashing and indoctrination by the Bishnoi gang. Even after his arrest, Shiv Kumar Gautam reportedly displayed no fear or remorse for his actions. His continued belief that he will be released soon indicates the deep hold the gang has over him.

The official noted that Gautam seemed oblivious to the long-term consequences of his actions, demonstrating the dangerous influence of the criminal network.

Investigation into the Larger Conspiracy

Authorities are now focusing their efforts on unraveling the full extent of Lawrence Bishnoi’s criminal network. The Crime Branch is delving deeper into the conspiracy behind Baba Siddique’s murder, hoping to uncover more details about the gang’s operations and connections.

Additionally, Sumit Wagh, the 26th accused in the case, has been produced before court and remanded into judicial custody, as the investigation continues to unfold.

As the investigation progresses, the police are intensifying their focus on Lawrence Bishnoi’s links to other criminal activities and the broader implications of his criminal empire. The case has taken a dramatic turn, and authorities are working tirelessly to bring those responsible for Siddique’s murder to justice.

November 21, 2024, 6:53 am

As per an update from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been arrested by US law enforcement and is currently being held at the Pottawattamie County Jail in Iowa, United States.

In an official statement to ANI, ICE confirmed that Bishnoi is detained at the facility but noted that no further information could be shared at this time.

The arrest comes amid ongoing investigations into Anmol Bishnoi’s involvement in various criminal activities.

Earlier, on Monday (local time), the US State Department had declined to comment on the potential deportation of Anmol Bishnoi, who is wanted in connection with a firing incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence.

In a statement, the State Department clarified that the matter is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller commented, “It would be appropriate, if anyone is going to comment on such a report, it would be the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, not the State Department. I prefaced it that way because they may decline to comment, but I certainly am not going to comment on something that falls within their jurisdiction.”

This development follows Anmol Bishnoi’s detention in California by the US Immigration Department last week, with reports suggesting that FBI officials and Indian security agencies have discussed the possibility of deporting him to India.

This comes after the Mumbai Police Crime Branch initiated the extradition process to bring Anmol Bishnoi back to India. He is a wanted gangster linked to the firing at Salman Khan’s residence and the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. On October 25, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for his arrest.

Anmol Bishnoi is charged in two NIA cases registered in 2022 and is also wanted for the shooting incident earlier this year. He is considered a significant figure in organized crime, linked to numerous criminal activities.

US Arrests Lawrence Bishnoi’s Brother Anmol, But Charges Not Related to Murder

November 20, 2024, 2:49 pm

Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was arrested in Sacramento, California, last Thursday. His arrest was not related to the high-profile crimes he is wanted for in India, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and the recent killing of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. Instead, he was detained for entering the US with fraudulent documents.

Despite being linked to several major criminal cases, Anmol Bishnoi faces an extradition request from India. However, at this time, there are no indications that he will be sent back to India. The US government has informed India about Bishnoi’s detention, noting that he is being held in Pottawattamie County Jail, Iowa, but the charges are not related to the crimes in India.

Bishnoi, a key figure in his brother’s global criminal syndicate, was believed to have been living in Canada, but he frequently traveled between the US and Canada. His brother, Lawrence Bishnoi, is a well-known figure in the criminal underworld and is currently imprisoned in Ahmedabad.

Indian authorities have been investigating Anmol Bishnoi for his involvement in multiple cases, including the shooting incident outside actor Salman Khan’s house earlier this year. Mumbai Police have proposed his extradition to India, following the issuance of a non-bailable warrant and a Red Corner Notice by Interpol.

The Bishnoi gang, notorious for its role in multiple violent incidents, continues to attract attention, with ongoing investigations into their activities. Anmol Bishnoi, now on the most-wanted list of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA), faces rewards and further legal challenges.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s Brother, Anmol Bishnoi, Arrested In The US: Sources

November 18, 2024, 8:13 pm

Anmol Bishnoi, the younger sibling of infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has been arrested in the United States, sources told to NDTV on Monday. Bishnoi is wanted in connection with several high-profile crimes, including the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, last month’s killing of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, and the shooting outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence in June.

Bishnoi, 50, was apprehended earlier today. Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch had initiated extradition procedures to bring him back to India, and a special court in Maharashtra issued a non-bailable arrest warrant. Additionally, Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice for his arrest.

Originally from Punjab’s Fazilka, Bishnoi had reportedly fled India for Canada using a fake passport. He is also facing charges filed by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA), which has included him on its most-wanted list and offered a reward of ₹10 lakh for information leading to his capture.

The Bishnoi gang gained widespread attention following the murder of Sidhu Moosewala and the recent firing incident outside Salman Khan’s home. This year, they were also linked to the murder of politician Baba Siddique. Additionally, the Bishnoi brothers were accused of plotting to fund and recruit individuals for terrorist activities across India in 2022.

Salman Khan Receives 4th Death Threat Amid Controversial Song Linked To Bishnoi

November 8, 2024, 11:13 am

Bollywood icon Salman Khan has reportedly received another threatening message, this time connected to a song that allegedly associates his name with jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The latest threat, which follows a series of similar warnings over the past ten days, was sent to Mumbai’s traffic control room late Thursday night.

New Threat Over Song Lyric Sparks Concern

According to reports, the message referred to a song where both Salman and Bishnoi are mentioned, and it warned that the songwriter would soon be in a condition where he “won’t be able to make such songs anymore.” The message further challenged Salman, suggesting he try to “save them” if he could. Following this warning, authorities have heightened security measures for the actor.

A Tense Period for Bollywood with Rising Security Alerts

This recent threat marks the fourth that Salman Khan has received in just over a week, intensifying concerns about his safety. Notably, superstar Shah Rukh Khan also received a death threat shortly after his 59th birthday, compelling him to avoid his annual tradition of greeting fans outside his home, Mannat. The atmosphere has been tense, especially after the recent murder of politician Baba Siddique in Bandra, a close friend of Salman Khan. Siddique’s killing was later claimed by the Bishnoi gang, who cited his ties with the actor as their motivation.

A Long-Standing Feud with the Bishnoi Gang

The enmity between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi gang dates back to a 1998 incident during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain, when Salman allegedly hunted a blackbuck—an animal revered by the Bishnoi community. Lawrence Bishnoi, now in jail, has since made public declarations against the actor, demanding either an apology or retribution. These threats have escalated in recent months, adding to Salman’s security concerns and prompting authorities to remain vigilant.

Meesho the Real Gangsta’?: Lawrence Bishnoi T-Shirts Selling Goes Viral

Popular e-commerce site Meesho is facing criticism after being found to host t-shirts featuring images of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Filmmaker Alishan Jafri highlighted the issue on social media, condemning the merchandise as an example of “India’s latest online radicalization.” A post on X (formerly Twitter) displayed the t-shirts, which bear Bishnoi’s image, some even labeled with the word “gangster,” retailing for as low as ₹168. The backlash intensified over concerns that some of the items appear to be aimed at young customers, potentially promoting a harmful influence among impressionable youth.

The Troubling Rise of Gangster Culture in Online Retail

Lawrence Bishnoi, linked to several high-profile crimes, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala and threats against Bollywood actor Salman Khan, has been a prominent figure in India’s criminal landscape. The Bishnoi gang was also allegedly involved in the recent killing of NCP leader Baba Siddique. Jafri pointed out that glorifying such figures could lead to serious consequences, as seen in recent incidents. He mentioned examples like a 15-year-old from Deoria, who reportedly killed his friend after being influenced by gang-related content, and a group of boys in Delhi who formed the “Badnaam Gang” with intentions to publicize their crimes on social media.

Public Outrage and Calls for Accountability

The discovery of Bishnoi-inspired merchandise on Meesho sparked significant backlash online. Social media users expressed anger, with some calling for Meesho’s de-platforming. “Shame on Meesho and similar platforms for promoting gang culture,” one commenter wrote. Another user added, “This gangster culture will destroy India.”

HT.com has reached out to Meesho for a response and will update this article if further information becomes available.

Court Slams Punjab Police for Providing ‘Studio-Like Facility’ for Lawrence Bishnoi’s Interview

October 30, 2024, 1:00 pm

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has expressed concerns about the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) cancellation report regarding the Lawrence Bishnoi interview case, suggesting a possible nexus and criminal conspiracy between police officials and the gangster. The court has mandated a new investigation into Bishnoi’s 2023 interview conducted by a private channel while he was incarcerated in Bathinda jail.

The court stated, “Police officials allowed the criminal to use an electronic device and provided a studio-like facility to conduct the interview, which tends to glorify crime with the potential to facilitate other crimes, including extortion by the criminal and his associates.”

Additionally, the court criticized the state government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, for its handling of the situation, highlighting that lower-ranking officers were being unfairly scapegoated. The bench, comprising Justices Anupinder Singh Grewal and Lapita Banerji, pointed out that of the suspended officials, only two were gazetted officers, while the rest were junior staff.

“Involvement of police officials may suggest receipt of illegal gratification from the criminal or his associates and constitute offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Therefore, the case requires further investigation,” the bench remarked.

Recently, the Punjab Police suspended seven personnel, including two deputy superintendents, in relation to this case. However, the court raised concerns regarding Shiv Kumar, the former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in-charge, who had been terminated but remained on an extension.

The court questioned the rationale behind Bishnoi’s repeated transfers to the CIA in Kharar for remand and interrogation, directing the state to submit additional affidavits.

“It appears that, besides two gazetted officers, all the remaining officers are of lower rank. We had clearly mentioned in our earlier order that lower-level officers should not be made scapegoats,” the court emphasized.

Furthermore, the court pointed out the absence of an affidavit from senior officials about Bishnoi’s interview in Punjab jail. It questioned, “Why did the DGP state that no interview took place in Punjab’s jail, and why was Section 120-B of the Criminal Conspiracy Act not applied to the officers involved?”

The SIT, headed by the Special Director General of Police (Human Rights), acknowledged that one interview with Bishnoi occurred during his custody in Mohali’s Kharar, while another took place in Rajasthan. In light of these revelations, seven police personnel were suspended.

The controversy surrounding Bishnoi’s interviews intensified after videos surfaced following the murder of former Maharashtra minister and Ajit Pawar’s NCP leader, Baba Siddique, who was shot by assailants in Mumbai on October 13.

New Demand Of Rs 2 Crore Ransom: Death Threats To Salman Khan

October 30, 2024, 10:07 am

In a disturbing continuation of threats against Bollywood star Salman Khan, an anonymous message directed at Mumbai traffic control warned that the actor would be killed unless he paid a ransom of ₹2 crore. According to police sources, a case has been registered against an unidentified individual, and an investigation is underway. The charges include extortion and threats to life.

Recent Arrests Linked to Threats

The alarming news follows the arrest of a 20-year-old man in Noida who was implicated in making death threats against Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddiqui, the son of late NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was murdered on October 12. Authorities have brought Gufran Khan to Mumbai on transit remand for questioning. Earlier, Mumbai Police detained 24-year-old Shaikh Hussain Shaikh Mausin, a vegetable vendor from Jamshedpur, following a threat received via the Mumbai traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline, which demanded a ransom of ₹5 crore.

Context of Ongoing Threats

Salman Khan has faced multiple death threats in the past, primarily linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, allegedly due to his involvement in a blackbuck hunting case during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain. In April, gunfire was reported outside the actor’s residence in Bandra, prompting a significant increase in his security measures.

The recent threats come shortly after the tragic death of Baba Siddique, a former MLA known for his close ties to Salman Khan. The actor made a brief appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss shortly after the incident, expressing that he felt reluctant to return due to the current circumstances but had to fulfill his work commitments. He revealed that he was not in the mood to meet anyone during this challenging time.

Abhinav Arora’s Family Files Case Against YouTubers Alleged of Anti-Hindu Content

October 29, 2024, 3:56 pm

The family of young spiritual influencer Abhinav Arora, popularly known as “Bal Sant Baba” to his followers, has taken legal action against seven YouTubers, accusing them of online harassment and anti-Hindu content. Abhinav’s mother, Jyoti Arora, filed a criminal case in Mathura’s court, alleging that these YouTubers trolled her 10-year-old son and mocked his religious beliefs in a video “maliciously designed” to defame him. The complaint cites the emotional distress caused to her son, who now feels unsafe practicing his religion openly.

The case filed by Abhinav’s family claims that the accused YouTubers have invaded his privacy, making it difficult for him to go about his daily life without fear. Abhinav Arora, who has garnered a following of over 9.5 lakh on Instagram, often shares content related to Hindu festivals, scripture recitations, and interactions with revered spiritual leaders. His videos, widely circulated online, have recently led to debates over his authenticity and spiritual credibility.

Death Threats from Lawrence Bishnoi Gang

In a concerning development, Abhinav’s family reported receiving a death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, a notorious group implicated in multiple criminal cases. Speaking to ANI, Jyoti Arora expressed distress, saying her son “has done nothing other than devotion” and questioning the intensity of the backlash against him.

October 27, 2024, 1:26 pm

The long-standing conflict between Bollywood star Salman Khan and the Bishnoi community has intensified, as members of the community gathered in Jodhpur on Saturday, burning effigies of Salman Khan and his father, Salim Khan. The Bishnoi community’s protest was a response to recent comments made by Salim Khan, defending his son against accusations in the decades-old blackbuck poaching case.

Bishnoi Community Rallies on Dharma Sthapana Diwas

The protest occurred on Bishnoi Dharma Sthapana Diwas, a significant day for the Bishnoi community, as members gathered to voice their anger over Salim Khan’s recent statements. In his remarks, Salim Khan claimed Salman was not involved in the poaching case and that the Bishnoi community was unfairly targeting him. Visuals from the scene show members of the Bishnoi community in Jodhpur publicly burning effigies of both Salman and Salim Khan while demanding an apology from the actor for what they see as a lack of accountability.

Community leaders argued that Salim Khan’s statement misrepresented the facts of the blackbuck case, which was filed nearly 26 years ago. “We are Bishnois; we do not defame anyone unjustly. Salim Khan’s claims are misleading and disrespectful to our community. We demand justice in this case, and our resolve remains firm,” said one protestor.

Demands for Justice and Rising Tensions

Bishnoi community members have also raised questions about Salman’s legal defense, suggesting that his hiring of top legal representation nationwide contradicts his father’s claims of innocence. Some in the community further asserted that if Salman does not apologize, the Sanatan Hindu Samaj may mobilize to start a campaign against the actor. The community cited gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, known to follow Bishnoi principles, as an example of someone committed to enforcing their traditions.

Increased Security Following Recent Threats

The protests come amid heightened security measures around Salman Khan, following the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique on October 12 in Mumbai.

In light of the recent events, officials have reinforced security around the actor.

The Bishnoi community has vowed to continue their efforts to hold Salman accountable for the blackbuck poaching case unless they receive a public apology.

Salman Khan Seeks ‘Badmaash Aadmi’ Advice Amid Lawrence Bishnoi Threat: Who Is He?

October 27, 2024, 7:47 am

In a recent development, prominent farmer leader Rakesh Tikait has called on Bollywood star Salman Khan to apologize to jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for the 1998 blackbuck poaching incident. Tikait’s comments have stirred conversations as they come just days after former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique was assassinated in an alleged gang-related attack by shooters associated with Bishnoi.

“This is a matter deeply connected with the Bishnoi community,” Tikait stated, urging Khan to seek forgiveness in a Bishnoi temple as a gesture of respect. “He should apologize; otherwise, you never know when someone might act,” Tikait added, alluding to the unpredictable nature of the jailed Bishnoi’s influence.

History of the Feud: Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi

The long-standing animosity between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi dates back to Khan’s alleged involvement in the killing of a blackbuck, an animal revered by the Bishnoi community. Although Khan has consistently denied any wrongdoing, the Bishnoi family has reportedly held a grudge over the incident. According to Ramesh Bishnoi, a relative of Lawrence Bishnoi, Khan had even offered a blank cheque as an attempt to resolve the matter, but the family declined, stating it was a matter of respect and principles, not money.

Tikait suggested that a formal apology from Khan could go a long way in diffusing tensions. “Visiting a Bishnoi temple and apologizing publicly would show respect for their values and prevent potential conflict,” Tikait advised, while also warning that Lawrence Bishnoi is “not to be taken lightly.”

The Baba Siddique Connection

The atmosphere around the Bishnoi gang has intensified in recent days following the October 12 assassination of former Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai. Siddique, well-known in Maharashtra politics, was killed in a targeted attack that police have linked to Bishnoi’s criminal network. The shooting occurred near the office of Siddique’s son, MLA Zeeshan Siddique, and has led to 15 arrests as Mumbai Police continues to investigate the gang’s motives and activities in the city.

As the investigation into Siddique’s murder continues, Rakesh Tikait’s statement has sparked fresh debates on whether a public apology could help mitigate tensions, or whether it would set a concerning precedent for interactions with criminal elements.

‘Khoon Khaul Raha Tha!’: Lawrence Bishnoi’s Cousin After Salman Khan Gave Blank Cheque For Blackbuck Case

October 25, 2024, 10:10 am

The long-standing enmity between actor Salman Khan and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has taken a new twist, with fresh allegations adding fuel to the fire. Recently, Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of Lawrence, alleged that Salman once attempted to resolve the matter by offering a blank cheque to the Bishnoi community leaders. The dispute stems from Salman’s alleged involvement in the blackbuck poaching case from 1998, which sparked anger within the Bishnoi community, who regard the blackbuck as sacred.

Allegations of a Blank Cheque Attempt

In a recent interview with NDTV, Ramesh Bishnoi claimed that after the controversy surrounding the blackbuck case intensified, Salman attempted to compensate the community by offering financial settlement. Ramesh recounted how the actor allegedly presented an empty chequebook, inviting the Bishnoi leaders to fill in any amount they wished to close the matter. He emphasized that the Bishnois, however, were motivated by ideology rather than financial compensation. “If we were after money, we would have accepted it,” Ramesh stated, challenging Salim Khan’s suggestion that Lawrence’s actions were profit-driven. He also noted that Lawrence is financially secure, owning 110 acres of land, and does not engage in extortion.

Background of the Blackbuck Poaching Case

The blackbuck poaching incident took place in Jodhpur in 1998 while Salman Khan was filming Hum Saath Saath Hain. Fellow actors Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam Kothari were also charged in the case. Over the past 25 years, the Bishnoi community has repeatedly called on Salman to apologize, a request he has declined. Salman’s father, Salim Khan, stated in a recent interview that an apology would imply Salman’s admission of guilt, which the family refutes. The case remains active, with Salman currently out on bail following a conviction.

Salman Khan’s Safety At Risk: Death Threat Sender Arrested In Jamshedpur

October 24, 2024, 7:42 am

Mumbai Police have apprehended a man from Jamshedpur for allegedly threatening Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on behalf of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and demanding a ransom of ₹5 crore. The police launched an investigation after receiving a threatening message directed at the actor.

Threat Message Traced to Jharkhand

The threatening message was sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police’s control room on October 18. Following this, a case was registered against an unidentified individual. With the assistance of local authorities in Jamshedpur, police traced the sender’s location and arrested the suspect, who is expected to be brought to Mumbai for further questioning.

Apology Followed by the Threat

Interestingly, just days after the initial threat, the same sender issued an apology to the Mumbai Traffic Police, claiming the message was “sent by mistake.” However, before this apology, the sender had warned that Khan’s life was in jeopardy unless the extortion money was paid. He stated, “Don’t take it lightly; if Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ₹5 crore. If the money isn’t given, Salman Khan’s condition will be worse than Baba Siddique’s.”

Context of the Threat

This incident comes in the wake of the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, heightening the concerns around threats made by organized crime syndicates. The Worli Police have filed a case concerning the threatening message, intensifying the investigation into potential links to criminal elements.

Khan’s Return to Bigg Boss 18 Amidst Turmoil

In the latest development, Salman Khan returned to host Bigg Boss 18 shortly after the death of his close friend Baba Siddique. In a recent episode, he expressed reluctance to be back on the show, citing his work commitments and the emotional strain he was experiencing during this difficult time. Khan noted that he wasn’t in the mood to meet anyone given the circumstances.

As investigations continue, the Mumbai Police are determined to ensure the safety of Salman Khan and address the broader issues related to threats from organized crime.

We Stand With Lawrence Bishnoi: Jailed Gangster’s Family Breaks Silence

October 23, 2024, 5:33 pm

The Bishnoi community has rallied behind jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, according to his cousin Ramesh Bishnoi, who urged actor Salman Khan to apologize over the blackbuck hunting incident. “Salman Khan should apologize. His family is playing with our religious sentiments,” Ramesh told NDTV, warning that if Khan doesn’t, “the law will do its job.”

Salman Khan was convicted of hunting a blackbuck, a sacred animal to the Bishnoi community, while filming ‘Hum Sath Sath Hain’ in Jodhpur in 1998. The Rajasthan High Court found him guilty in 2018 and sentenced him to five years in prison. Though Khan challenged the decision in the Supreme Court and was granted bail, Lawrence Bishnoi openly threatened to kill the actor for offending the community in 2018. Amid recent threats allegedly from Bishnoi‘s gang, security has been increased at Khan’s residence.

Ramesh explained that the blackbuck incident deeply angered the Bishnoi community, known for its devotion to wildlife conservation, and reaffirmed their support for Lawrence. “Our society loves wildlife and trees. When Salman Khan killed the blackbuck, every Bishnoi’s blood was boiling… Today the entire Bishnoi community stands with Lawrence in this matter,” he said.

He also claimed Salman Khan previously offered money to the Bishnoi community, which they rejected. “If we were hungry for money, we would have taken it at that time,” Ramesh said, disputing accusations that Lawrence’s gang is motivated by financial gain.

Ramesh defended Lawrence, emphasizing that while Salman has been convicted, “Has any crime been proven against Lawrence in any court?”

On claims of Bishnoi’s gang involvement in other crimes, including the Baba Siddique murder, Ramesh insisted that only a thorough investigation would reveal the truth and that Lawrence was not involved in extortion. He also shared that Lawrence was academically gifted, securing a scholarship, and expressed disbelief at his rise to becoming a notorious gangster.

Karni Sena Offers Rs 1,11,11,111 Reward for Lawrence Bishnoi’s Encounter

October 22, 2024, 8:35 am

The Kshatriya Karni Sena has reportedly declared a reward for the encounter of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, whose gang recently claimed responsibility for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai. In a video, Raj Shekhawat, the national president of the Kshatriya Karni Sena, allegedly announced a reward of ₹1,11,11,111 for any police officer who kills Bishnoi, as reported by Navbharat Times.

Reward for Bishnoi’s Encounter

Shekhawat stated that the amount will be given to any security personnel who conducts Bishnoi’s encounter to ensure public safety. He also criticized the Central government and the Gujarat administration for failing to address the ongoing criminal activities tied to Bishnoi’s gang.

Bishnoi’s Criminal Background

Lawrence Bishnoi is currently imprisoned in Gujarat’s Sabarmati jail on charges related to cross-border drug smuggling. He had previously been involved in a shooting incident outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s residence in April, but the Mumbai Police were unable to secure his custody.

Link to Karni Sena Chief’s Murder

In a video posted online, Shekhawat further accused Bishnoi of being responsible for the killing of “our precious gem and heritage Amar Shaheed Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi ji,” referring to Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, who was murdered by unknown assailants in December 2023 in Jaipur. Bishnoi’s gang had claimed responsibility for Gogamedi’s murder soon after the incident.

Bishnoi’s Nationwide Crime Network

Bishnoi’s gang remains active across India, not only claiming responsibility for Baba Siddique’s murder and the attack near Salman Khan’s home but also for the killing of Khalistani sympathizer Sukha Duneke in September 2023. His gang is also linked to shootings outside the homes of singers AP Dhillon and Gippy Garewal in Canada.

Connection to Salman Khan and Baba Siddique

Baba Siddique’s murder by Bishnoi’s gang reportedly stemmed from his alleged ties to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and his close relationship with Salman Khan. Over the years, Salman Khan and his family have faced several death threats from Bishnoi’s gang, leading to heightened security for the actor, especially after Siddique’s murder.

Baba Siddiqui Murder Case: Criminals Do Not Belong To Any Specific City or Location, Says Haryana DGP

October 21, 2024, 5:24 pm

Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapoor on Monday condemned Lawrence Bishnoi, stating that criminals, whether in the Baba Siddiqui murder case or any other, do not belong to any specific city or location, and strict action will be taken against them. Speaking to reporters in Panchkula, he said, “Whether it is the Baba Siddiqui murder case or any other, wherever it happened, the police there are investigating the matter… Criminals are criminals, they do not belong to any one city or place, and strict action will be taken against them.”

Earlier, on Sunday, Mumbai Crime Branch arrested another person in connection with the NCP leader Baba Siddiqui’s murder case. So far, ten people have been arrested, said Mumbai Police. The accused, identified as Bhagwant Singh, was arrested from Belapur in Navi Mumbai. Police accused Bhagwant of aiding the shooters by providing them shelter and weapons and alleged that he transported weapons from Rajasthan to Mumbai.

Baba Siddique was shot outside his office in Nirmal Nagar. He sustained two gunshot wounds to the chest and was taken to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on October 12. On October 19, Mumbai Police suspended police security guard Shyam Sonawane, who was present with Siddique during the incident. According to the police, constable Sonawane “did not take any action” against the accused who fired at Siddiqui.

In another development, a photograph of Baba Siddique’s son, Zeeshan Siddique, was found in the phone of one of the arrested accused, shared via Snapchat. The police stated that the shooters and conspirators used Snapchat to share information, with messages being deleted after instructions were given.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s Possible Link in Delhi CRPF School Blast Investigated

October 21, 2024, 2:57 pm

The investigation into the recent blast outside a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Rohini, Delhi, has intensified as multiple agencies explore various leads, including a potential connection to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Sources indicate that a threat message was disseminated via Telegram, warning officials that their family members could be targeted next. This cryptic message was posted by a previously unknown group operating under the pseudonym “Justice League India” (JLI), raising suspicions about its legitimacy.

The message referenced the word “hire,” leading investigators to consider whether it hinted at Bishnoi’s gang, known for its involvement in targeted killings, including those in Canada. This development follows the emergence of a Khalistani link, with agencies suspecting that the attack on the school was intended as a warning to security forces.

Multiple Angles Under Investigation

Authorities are scrutinizing the unusual timing and location of the blast, suggesting it was a deliberate attempt to intimidate law enforcement. The Telegram channel responsible for the threat has approximately 333 members, prompting agencies to request a response from Telegram regarding the matter.

Investigators are also examining a viral post from Khalistan-backed social media channels, which sought to connect the attack to an alleged revenge plot for the attempted assassination of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. Additionally, the recent anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh, where 38 Naxals were killed by CRPF forces, are being considered as a potential motive behind the blast.

Further examination of the blast site revealed a circuit loop pattern, commonly associated with attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. The National Security Guard’s Bomb Disposal Squad discovered cables and batteries used for a timing device, a method previously observed in the region.

A case has been registered under FIR No. 512/24, which includes charges of attempted murder, public property damage, and violations of the Explosives Act at the Prashant Vihar police station in Rohini.

Lawrence Bishnoi: Unveiling His True Identity And Ambitions For Dominance In The Criminal Underworld

October 19, 2024, 6:09 pm

Lawrence Bishnoi, whose real name is Balkaran Brar, has been a prominent figure in the criminal world, despite spending over ten years in prison. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed in a 128-page chargesheet filed in March 2023 that his criminal empire continues to grow. This document details his transformation from student politics to one of India’s most feared gangsters and is part of an ongoing case under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) against Bishnoi and 15 of his associates.

Horse Auction Incident

In 2021, when a Delhi Police team tracked down murder suspect Mohammad Shahrukh, a Bishnoi associate, they uncovered a surprising connection. Shahrukh attended a horse auction in Punjab’s Sangrur district, where bids soared—Rs 95 lakh from a local baba and Rs 90 lakh from a representative of actor Salman Khan. After the baba won, Shahrukh allegedly extorted Rs 1 crore from him. This incident highlighted the Bishnoi gang’s ongoing obsession with Salman Khan, stemming from the actor’s involvement in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The gang has continued to threaten Khan, with alarming incidents such as gunfire outside his home in November 2023 and the murder of his close friend, NCP leader Baba Siddique, in October.

Bishnoi’s Criminal Expansion

Over the past two years, Bishnoi’s involvement in several high-profile crimes has attracted national attention, including the assassination of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022. Allegations from Canada suggest that the Indian government collaborates with his gang to instigate terror on Canadian soil—claims that India denies. Even while incarcerated since 2014, Bishnoi has managed to maintain an extensive network. The NIA chargesheet compares his rise to that of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, noting that he reportedly commands a gang of 700 operatives, 300 of whom are from his home state of Punjab.

Balkaran Brar’s Transformation

Bishnoi adopted the name “Lawrence” during his school years, reportedly at the suggestion of his paternal aunt. His affluent family, which owns 110 acres in Punjab’s Fazilka district, never anticipated his path toward notoriety. His cousin, Ramesh, expressed disbelief, saying, “Our family has always been wealthy. His father was a constable in the Haryana Police, and Bishnoi always wore expensive clothes. His family still spends Rs 35-40 lakh annually on him in jail.”

Bishnoi’s criminal journey commenced in 2008, when he was arrested for shooting at a rival during student elections at Panjab University (PU). His police dossier reveals that 18 of the 84 cases against him originated during his college years, where he was deeply entangled in the violent politics of the Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU). His connections with notorious figures like Sampat Nehra and Goldy Brar facilitated his further descent into crime.

A Decade of Incarceration

Despite being behind bars, Bishnoi has retained control over his gang through key associates like Goldy Brar, who have taken over operations in his absence. His ambitions remain steadfast, as he stated in 2023, “I have been in jail for the last 10 years, and it’s very unlikely that I will come out now. I want to become the Number 1 criminal in the country.”

‘Lawrence Bishnoi’s family spends 40 lakh/yr on him in jail’: Cousin

October 19, 2024, 2:18 pm

Over the last two years, Lawrence Bishnoi’s name has emerged in connection with several high-profile crimes, including the murder of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala on June 6, 2022. Additionally, Canada has recently alleged that “agents” of the Indian government collaborated with Bishnoi’s gang to incite terror on Canadian soil, a claim that India has denied.

Despite these allegations, Bishnoi has been incarcerated since 2014 after a police shootout during his journey to Rajasthan’s Salasar Balaji Temple. He is currently imprisoned in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Central Jail.

Born as Balkaran Brar, Bishnoi adopted the name “Lawrence” during his school years, reportedly suggested by his paternal aunt, who felt that “Lawrence sounded better.”

In Fazilka district’s Dotaranwali village, Bishnoi’s ancestral home, his cousin Ramesh Bishnoi, 50, expressed disbelief over the gangster’s trajectory, stating that the family never envisioned such a future for him. “Our family has always been wealthy. Lawrence’s father was a constable with the Haryana Police and owns 110 acres in the village. Bishnoi always wore expensive clothes and shoes. In fact, even now, his family spends Rs 35-40 lakh annually on him in jail,” Ramesh said, recalling the last time he saw Lawrence a decade ago during a court hearing in Abohar.

Lawrence Bishnoi has gained attention again recently due to the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique. A Facebook post by a gang member, which quickly gained traction, claimed responsibility for targeting Siddique due to his close association with Bollywood actor Salman Khan and alleged links to underworld figures such as Dawood Ibrahim.

Salman Khan Continues Bigg Boss 18 Shoot Despite Lawrence Bishnoi’s Threats: 60 Guards On Duty, No One Allowed To Leave

October 18, 2024, 7:26 pm

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has resumed filming for the latest season of *Bigg Boss* amid heightened security due to threats against his life. Arriving on set late Thursday night, Khan was accompanied by an extensive security detail necessitated by recent events.

Sources reveal that he is staying in a secure chalet within the production compound, where filming for Bigg Boss 18 will continue as planned. The crew is required to remain on-site until filming concludes to ensure everyone’s safety amidst the heightened security measures. Over 60 guards are stationed to monitor the area, and access to the compound is strictly controlled, requiring Aadhar card verification for all entrants.

These security arrangements reflect the seriousness of the situation, particularly after a member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly sent a threatening message to the Mumbai Traffic Police, demanding a ransom of ₹5 crore from Khan. The message warned of dire consequences if the ransom was not paid, alluding to the recent assassination of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was killed just a day after Khan filmed an episode of Bigg Boss, increasing fears for the actor’s safety.

In response to these threats, Khan’s protection level has been elevated to Y-plus, which includes a dedicated police escort and a trained constable armed with firearms. This heightened security indicates the significant risks facing Khan and the entertainment industry as a whole. As one of Bollywood’s most prominent figures, his visibility makes him a target for criminal elements looking to exert influence or settle scores.

Despite these tensions, the production team is determined to proceed with filming for two Weekend Ka Vaar episodes scheduled for this weekend. Producers and channel executives are collaborating closely with Salman’s security team to ensure all necessary precautions are in place, allowing the show to continue without incident. The atmosphere on set is expected to be tense, as both crew members and fans are acutely aware of the external threats looming over the production.

Salman Khan’s ability to confront danger is a testament to his enduring career in the Indian film industry, where he has faced numerous challenges. His resilience has earned him a massive fan base, and many supporters are rallying behind him during this difficult time. The public’s fascination with the unfolding drama adds another layer of complexity, as the safety of the star and the integrity of the show become paramount.

While the entertainment industry often deals with the pressures of celebrity culture, the current situation surrounding Salman Khan and *Bigg Boss* sheds light on the darker aspects of fame. The intersection of celebrity and crime highlights a significant issue in society, emphasizing the need for increased attention to the safety of public figures. As filming continues, there is hope that the implemented security measures will protect everyone involved, allowing the show to proceed without further incidents.

Rs. 25 Lakh ‘Supari’ And Rifles From Pakistan To Kill Salman Khan, Charge sheet Reveals

October 18, 2024, 11:44 am

A man from Haryana has been arrested by Navi Mumbai police for allegedly surveying actor Salman Khan’s farmhouse in Panvel last February.

The police registered an FIR on April 24, reporting a conspiracy to attack the actor at his farmhouse. This marks the second attempt following a shooting incident outside his Bandra residence on April 14. The charge sheet reveals that the accused was offered ₹25 lakh to execute the attack, with plans to acquire weapons from Pakistan.

Tip-off and Arrests

The plot was disrupted when senior inspector Nitin Thakare received a tip-off about the suspects’ activities, leading to the arrest of five individuals involved in the case. The main accused, identified as Sukhbir Balbir Singh, alias Sukha, was allegedly an arms supplier who aimed to connect with a Pakistan-based contact named Dogar for arms procurement.

Navi Mumbai police had been searching for Sukha, eventually locating him at a hotel in Panipat, where he had changed his appearance by growing his hair and beard. Investigations indicated that 16 to 17 people were involved in the recce operation in Panvel. In June, the police arrested four individuals linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi: Dhananjay Tapesingh (alias Ajay Kashyap), Gaurav Bhatia (alias Nahvi), Vapsi Khan (alias Waseem Chikna), and Rizwan Khan.

Gang’s Contract and Weaponry

According to the chargesheet against the five accused, the Bishnoi gang placed a ₹25 lakh contract on Salman Khan’s life, planning to execute the attack either during a film shoot or when the actor left his Panvel farmhouse. The conspiracy is believed to have developed between August 2023 and April 2024, with intentions to procure advanced weapons from Pakistan, including AK-47s, AK-92s, M16 rifles, and the Turkey-made Zigana pistol, which was used in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

The gang reportedly communicated through a WhatsApp group comprising 15-16 members, including Bishnoi’s brother Anmol Bishnoi, Goldy Brar, Kashyap, Bhatia, Cheena, and Javed Khan. The Navi Mumbai police identified Sukha and Dogar from Pakistan as the arms suppliers. The plan also included heightened surveillance, with around 60 to 70 individuals monitoring Khan’s movements, as noted in the chargesheet.

Why Salman Khan Is Under The Radar?

Salman Khan has been under threat from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is thought to be involved in both the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai incidents. Bishnoi claims his targeting of Salman Khan originates from a 1998 incident when the actor shot blackbucks, which are sacred to the Bishnoi community, during a film shoot in Rajasthan.

Lawrence Bishnoi targets Salman Khan after assassination of Baba Siddiqui

October 18, 2024, 1:35 am

In a shocking revelation following the assassination of Baba Siddiqui, the critical role of Rajasthan Police has emerged. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has expanded his influence into Bollywood, as uncovered in the ongoing murder investigation.
Reports indicate that a year ago, Bishnoi threatened actor Salman Khan, asserting control over Mumbai’s film industry. This information came to light during the interrogation of Sampat Nehra, a key associate of Lawrence’s gang, by Churu police last year. Nehra explicitly stated that if Salman Khan did not apologise to the Bishnoi community for the deer hunting incident, Lawrence would order his assassination. Following Nehra’s alarming disclosure, police and intelligence agencies nationwide have intensified their inquiries to anticipate the gang’s next moves.
In October last year, Churu police of Rajasthan brought gangster Sampat Nehra from Punjab jail on the basis of a production warrant for interrogation in the case of extortion and murder. In the joint interrogation by police and intelligence police, gangster Sampat also revealed the next target of his gang leader. He told the police that film actor Salman Khan’s name is at the top of Lawrence’s hit list. He had made it clear during interrogation that until Salman Khan apologizes to the Bishnoi community in the much talked about deer hunting case, his boss gang leader Lawrence will not stop chasing Salman and will not rest until he kills him.
The disclosure of the information obtained during the interrogation of gangster Sampat and the first move of Lawrence’s chessboard in Bollywood came to light when on April 14 this year, two shooters on a motorcycle fired bullets at Salman’s Mumbai bungalow Galaxy Apartment.
After this, the gang also expressed the next move of gang leader Lawrence’s target by gunning down Baba Siddiqui, a famous personality and Salman Khan’s close friend.
On getting information that Salman Khan is number one in Lawrence’s target, police and intelligence agencies kept an eye on his activities. Meanwhile, Lawrence had also revealed his next move i.e. attack in his chessboard laid in Bollywood by firing at Salman’s bungalow in Mumbai. Due to this, by killing Bollywood’s well-known person and Salman Khan’s closest friend Baba Siddiqui, Lawrence not only once again moved his move forward, but also gave indications that the gang’s next attack would be on Salman. Due to this, the police and intelligence agencies are stunned. Intelligence agencies believe that gangster Lawrence’s next move will be to attack Salman Khan. Due to this, Salman Khan’s security has been increased, while Salman has also started strengthening his security arrangements by cancelling many of his programs.
Intelligence agencies believe that gang leader Lawrence has expressed his next target and his next move by getting Baba Siddiqui killed. It is believed that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is busy in making his warning come true as Salman Khan has not yet apologised to the environment-loving Bishnoi community in the deer hunting case. Due to this, now all eyes are on Lawrence Gang’s next move in Bollywood. Due to this, the security arrangements of film actor Salman Khan have been made even more robust. It is also believed that Salman Khan can put an end to this bloody conflict by apologizing to the Bishnoi community for the deer hunting incident.

“This is a direct message to Lawrence Bishnoi. Hello, Lawrence brother, I have heard and also seen that you are making Zoom calls from jail as well, so I want to talk to you. Please let me know how this can happen? Rajasthan is my favorite place in the whole world.

It will be a great favor if you can share your mobile number. Thank you,” Ali wrote in her post.

Context of the Threats

Ali’s message comes on the heels of the murder of former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan. Following this incident, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack and issued warnings to those affiliated with the actor. In response, Khan’s security detail has been significantly increased.

The animosity between Bishnoi and Khan dates back to 2018 when Bishnoi publicly threatened Khan during a court appearance, stating, “We will kill Salman Khan. Everyone will know once we take action. I have not done anything as of now; they are accusing me of crimes for no reason.” Since then, Khan has faced multiple threats, culminating in an incident in April when gunfire was reported outside his Bandra residence, allegedly from shooters linked to the Bishnoi gang.

The Roots of the Feud

This ongoing feud is rooted in a 1998 poaching case involving Khan, during the filming of “Hum Saath-Saath Hain” in Rajasthan. The case angered the Bishnoi community, which holds blackbucks in high reverence. Lawrence Bishnoi, currently incarcerated in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Jail, faces numerous serious charges, including murder, attempted murder, extortion, and drug and arms smuggling.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s Criminal Network

Bishnoi has been identified as a central figure in a gangster-terror nexus, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) linking him to several high-profile cases, including ties to the banned terrorist group Babbar Khalsa International. Despite efforts by law enforcement to dismantle his criminal operations, Bishnoi continues to orchestrate his activities through a network of henchmen and sharpshooters across northern and western India.

Ali’s message, amid this backdrop of violence and intimidation, has drawn sharp criticism and raised questions about the implications of her words and the influence of high-profile personalities in such serious matters.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has sparked a social media frenzy by describing gangster Lawrence Bishnoi as “good looking” while discussing the ongoing case related to Bishnoi’s gang and the murder of politician Baba Siddiqui. Varma also encouraged Salman Khan to confront Bishnoi’s threats and shared a satirical perspective on the unfolding legal and criminal saga.

Taking to social media, Varma expressed his unconventional views about the ongoing investigation into Siddiqui’s murder and the alleged involvement of Bishnoi’s gang. His comment about the incarcerated gangster’s appearance surprised many followers. He posted a picture of Bishnoi on his X handle, writing, “If a film is based on the BIGGEST GANGSTER, no filmmaker will cast a guy who looks like DAWOOD IBRAHIM or CHOTA RAJAN. But here, I don’t know a single FILM STAR who is more GOOD LOOKING than B.”

Social Media Reactions:

Varma’s post drew mixed reactions from users, with some suggesting Bollywood actors who might portray Bishnoi.

One comment read, “Let him do his own role. I hope you direct his biography.” A

nother noted, “If Bishnoi’s life ever makes it to the big screen, they’ll probably go for someone way more glamorous, making it a ‘Bollywood’ version in every sense.”

A third suggested, “Casting Salman Khan as Lawrence will be the biggest irony.”

Some users even proposed titles like “B Company” for a potential film, predicting it would be a box office hit.

In a subsequent post, Varma expressed his anticipation for Salman Khan to deliver a “SUPER COUNTER THREAT” to Bishnoi, stating, “otherwise, it will look like a COWARDICE of the TIGER STAR. S K owes it to his fans to rise up as the BIGGER SUPER HERO in comparison to B.”

Varma also shared his thoughts on the recent connections between Baba Siddiqui’s murder and the Bishnoi gang, likening it to a movie plot. He elaborated, “A LAWYER turned GANGSTER wants to take REVENGE for a DEER’S death by killing a SUPER STAR and as a WARNING orders some of his GANG of 700, which he recruited through Facebook, to first kill a BIG POLITICIAN who is a close friend of the STAR. The POLICE can’t catch him because he is under the protection of the GOVERNMENT in a JAIL and his spokesman speaks from ABROAD.” He remarked, “If a Bollywood writer came up with a story like this, they would be thrashed for writing the most unbelievable and ridiculous story ever.”

Reflecting on the situation, Varma tweeted, “LAWRENCE BISHNOI was just a 5-YEAR-OLD KID when the deer was killed in 1998, and he maintained his grudge for 25 years. Now at age 30, he says that his LIFE’S GOAL is to kill SALMAN to take REVENGE for KILLING that DEER. Is this ANIMAL love at its PEAK, or GOD playing a WEIRD JOKE?”

These comments allude to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan, where Salman was accused of illegally hunting protected animals. Bishnoi, whose community reveres the blackbuck, has reportedly harbored a grudge against the actor, issuing open threats over the years. Earlier this year, a gunman believed to be linked to the Bishnoi gang opened fire outside Salman’s residence.

On the professional front, Salman is currently engaged with projects like *Bigg Boss 18* and *Sikandar*.
