Death threats and fraud worth crores: Lawrence Bishnoi gang expands underworld empire in Canada

 

 

 

Reports have come out quoting Canadian security officials that a criminal gang led by notorious criminal Lawrence Bishnoi is exerting a large amount of influence by targeting the Indian-origin and Sikh community in Canada. It has been discovered that Bishnoi, who is in jail in India, controls his underworld activities in Canada using mobile phones and other communication systems. Canadian police say that this gang has more than a thousand active members in Canada alone. They are involved in many criminal activities such as extortion, contract killings, and robbery.

The Bishnoi gang is expanding its network by targeting Indian youth who come to Canada on student visas and temporary work visas. Their method is to attract such people, who become isolated after arriving in Canada, to the gang by paying them low money and exerting influence through other means. They threaten big businessmen and prominent individuals over the phone and WhatsApp and demand crores of rupees. Their main method is to spread fear by opening fire on the homes and businesses of those who refuse to pay. The Canadian government recently declared this group a terrorist organization.

The recently released US indictment reveals the involvement of Lawrence Bishnoi and his colleague Goldie Brar, who is hiding abroad, in the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in 2023. Security agencies in both countries are jointly taking strong steps to suppress this network, which was involved in such crimes in parallel in Canada and the US. As part of this, more than ten people have already been arrested from various places.
