Alleged members of an India n gang and its leader have been sending shivers down the spines of members of the South Asian diaspora in Canada for years, says a city councillor in Richmond, B.C.
"He is an individual that is prone to violence in India. A couple of years ago, the Bishnoi gang really started to hit the airwaves and people concerned about it ... a lot of the diaspora know about Lawrence Bishnoi and his activities ." Ritesh Lakhi agrees. The Indian journalist, who was a reporter for an ethnic B.C. radio show before moving to India, has covered the rise of the Bishnoi gang.
The National Investigation Agency, India's counterterrorism law enforcement agency, said in 2023 that Lawrence Bishnoi operates his "terror-syndicate from jails in different states" in India and through an associate in Canada. Bishnoi has been in jail since 2015, said Lakhi, and charges against him continue to pile up. Bishnoi is accused of orchestrating violent extortions while behind bars with a cellphone.
