About Lawrence Bishnoi, the main accused!
Bishnoi was Born in Fazilka in Punjab. He has been in custody since 2014, due to his arrest during a confrontation with the Rajasthan Police. After being shifted to Delhi’s Tihar jail in 2021, he was arrested once again by the Punjab Police on June 14, 2022. This time it was in connection with the high-profile murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala on May 29.
Bishnoi has experienced frequent transfers between jails. Which highlights the complexity of the legal proceedings surrounding his alleged criminal activities. Bishnoi is currently in jail in Gujarat because he is one of the accused in the murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
“Investigations have revealed that a terrorist, gangster and drug smugglers syndicate led by Bishnoi was involved in many targeted killings and extortion from businessmen and professionals, including doctors, and this had created a widespread scare and terror among the public at large,” the NIA had said.
