Lawrence Bishnoi is India’s most dreaded gangster currently. He operates his network from the Sabarmati Central Jail. He has been involved in many high-profile assassinations including the 2022 murder of Punjabi sensation Sidhu Moose Wala. Moose Wala was shot in broad daylight by the members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Goldy Brar was the key conspirator, and also claimed responsibility for the attack.

He was gunned down while driving his SUV in Mansa district of Punjab. Punjab has always suffered with many issues of which drug abuse by the youth and the killing of its pop icons are the top problem areas. Lawrence Bishnoi has also constantly issued threats to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan owing to his involvement in the black buck poaching case. Salman Khan has received state protection with his security getting beefed up.
