Lawrence Bishnoi, infamous gangster, connected to international crimes, still active from jail.
Lawrence Bishnoi, a name that resonates both within India’s criminal circles and beyond, is currently incarcerated in Tihar Jail but continues to be a central figure in international crime networks.
Bishnoi, accused in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has gained notoriety for his gang’s extensive reach across India and alleged global affiliations.
His criminal career began in university politics and has since evolved into a network that transcends borders.
Early Life and Criminal Beginnings
Born in Punjab in 1993, Bishnoi’s early years were spent in Abohar before moving to Chandigarh for higher education.
It was during his time at Panjab University that he met Goldy Brar, a key figure in his criminal activities.
Bishnoi’s involvement in university politics eventually led to multiple FIRs against him for serious crimes, including attempts to murder and robbery. His gang, now reportedly linked to over 700 shooters, gained momentum, operating on a national scale.
Rise to Infamy
Bishnoi’s criminal empire expanded significantly after a series of violent incidents, including the assassination of rival candidates in 2013.
By 2014, he had already faced armed encounters with the police and was sent to jail. However, his time behind bars only seemed to strengthen his network, as he continued to operate with assistance from within the prison system.
His connections with other gangsters, arms dealers, and political figures solidified his standing as a dangerous and influential figure.
International Ties and High-Profile Crimes
Bishnoi’s criminal activities aren’t limited to Indian soil. Investigations revealed links to pro-Khalistan outfits, and his associate, Goldy Brar, orchestrated the murder of Sidhu Moosewala from Canada.
Even Hollywood star Salman Khan was on Bishnoi’s radar, with threats made against him in connection to the 2018 Black Buck hunting case.
Impact on Law Enforcement and Future Projections
Bishnoi’s extensive connections, even from behind bars, present a serious challenge for law enforcement agencies. His ability to operate from jail and his gang’s global links highlight the growing complexities of organized crime in India.
With his reach extending beyond borders, Bishnoi remains a significant figure in both national and international crime scenes.
