Lawrence Bishnoi gang

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, notorious for its criminal activities, has gained international attention following allegations of involvement in the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, resulting in diplomatic tensions between India and Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian officials of being implicated in Nijjar's killing, leading to the expulsion of diplomats from both countries. Meanwhile, in Pune, local police are cracking down on the gang's influence, with recent arrests linked to the murder of Maharashtra politician Baba Siddiqui, which Bishnoi allegedly orchestrated from prison. Bishnoi, who has been incarcerated since 2012, continues to manage a network of around 700 members, utilizing encrypted communication to maintain operations. His criminal empire extends beyond India, with connections to Khalistani groups in North America and associates like Goldie Brar. Despite his imprisonment, Bishnoi's influence within organized crime remains significant, demonstrating the challenges law enforcement faces in curtailing his operations.
