Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious Indian gangster, remains at the center of several high-profile criminal activities and ongoing investigations. Recently, his gang was linked to the murder of Baba Siddique, a former Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, in Mumbai. The murder, carried out on October 12, 2024, sent shockwaves through the country, especially since Siddique had been a well-known figure in Maharashtra politics. Following the incident, investigations revealed that the shooters involved claimed allegiance to Bishnoi’s gang.
Bishnoi, who is currently imprisoned, has been connected to various criminal activities ranging from extortion to murders, including his alleged involvement in the killing of Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022. Despite being behind bars, Bishnoi’s network continues to operate across India, boasting an extensive group of nearly 700 shooters.
His gang has also issued death threats to Bollywood actor Salman Khan, in relation to the blackbuck poaching case. In light of these threats and the gang’s growing influence, security for Khan has been heightened once again. Bishnoi’s influence extends beyond India, with alleged links to transnational crime networks, complicating law enforcement efforts to contain his reach.
Bishnoi’s gang remains under scrutiny by both Indian authorities and international agencies, highlighting the challenges of combating organized crime across borders. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) continues to pursue individuals linked to the gang, as more details emerge regarding their operations and future plans.
