Lawrence Bishnoi: The Rise of a Notorious Crime Network Across India
Introduction
Lawrence Bishnoi, a 31-year-old currently lodged in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Central Jail, is at the center of one of the most formidable criminal networks in India. Operating across multiple states including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, Bishnoi’s name has become synonymous with high-profile crimes, targeted killings, extortion, and organized violence. His network has not only baffled law enforcement agencies but also raised serious concerns about the influence and reach of organized crime in India.

Over the years, Bishnoi’s operations have expanded beyond Punjab to Haryana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, with his gang involved in a range of activities such as:
Despite being imprisoned, Bishnoi continues to wield power from behind bars, allegedly managing his network through associates and advanced communication systems. This control allows him to issue instructions, settle disputes, and conduct operations without physical presence.
