The 700-member Bishnoi gang has come under police scrutiny after Goldy Brar, a Canadian-based mobster, claimed responsibility for the murder of Punjabi musician Sidhu Moose Wala.
On Sunday, May 29, the Punjabi singer was shot dead in Jawaharke village, Mansa district. Brar, a close associate of imprisoned mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s death on Facebook, naming Sachin Bishnoi Dhattaranwali and Lawrence Bishnoi.
Following the death of the singer, authorities are keeping an eye on gangsters Neeraj Bavania, Tillu Tajpuria, and the Lawrence Bishnoi-Kala Jathedi-Goldy Brar gang, who are being held in several Delhi jails.
According to Tihar Jail sources, a particular watch is being kept on them, following this murder to ensure that there is no violence amongst these gangsters in Delhi’s cells. He claimed he killed Sidhu Moose Wala to avenge Vicky Middukhera’s death.
Lawrence Bishnoi, whose group claimed to have murdered musician Sidhu Moose Wala, is currently being held in the high-security ward of Delhi’s Tihar jail number 8.
Several cases against Bishnoi have been filed in Delhi, Rajasthan, and Punjab. Police continue to hold him in custody for one reason or another.
Bishnoi, who was born on February 12, 1993, is a graduate and a native of Punjab’s Firozepur. In 1992, Bishnoi’s father joined the Haryana Police as a constable. After five years, he quit his job and began farming.
Bishnoi obtained his LLB from Panjab University and began engaging in criminal operations. Some of the first cases filed against him were in Chandigarh and other states.
Bishnoi and his gang, which includes skilled shooters, operate from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Himachal Pradesh, with a global network.
Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who was nabbed by the Delhi Police Special Cell in a Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) case with a Rs 5 lakh reward, is currently imprisoned.
He joined the Punjab University student organization in 2009, while still in college, and met president Goldy. Bishnoi began committing crimes after meeting Goldy and becoming involved in campus politics.
The Bishnoi gang is known for extorting money from the liquor mafia, Punjabi artists, and other powerful persons.
