From the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Musewala to the murder of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, the Bishnoi gang has been associated with various crimes in the past few years.
According to NIA sources, not just Salman, Bishnoi's hit list includes comedians to politicians.
It is believed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has a total of 700 shooters. And gangsters are using them in different ways.
A senior Delhi police official told PTI that the Bishnoi gang's target is now not limited to Salman. He claimed, “The gang is now trying to enter Bollywood. The Lawrence gang is trying to gain influence in the areas that were once occupied by Dawood Ibrahim.
Who are in the hit list of gangster Bishnoi? Salman Khan's name comes first in this list. He has been attacked several times.
But why is the Bishnoi gang threatening to kill Salman Khan? Behind this is the killing of blackbucks. In 1998, Salman Khan went to Jodhpur, Rajasthan to shoot for the film 'Hum Saath Saath Hai'. He was accused of blackbuck hunting there.
This incident hurt the sentiments of the Bishnoi community. Because they consider black deer very sacred. After his arrest in 2018, Lawrence Bishnoi threatened, "We will kill Salman Khan in Jodhpur." Everyone will know only if we take action. I haven't done anything yet. They accused me of a crime for no reason.”
In 2018, the police arrested a betel nut killer named Sampath Nehra. It was alleged that the man was raiding Salman's house to kill him. Investigators also claimed that Nehra had gone there on Bishnoi's orders.
On April 14, 2023, two miscreants opened fire on a bike in front of Salman's house in Bandra. However, it did not harm the actor. The police suspect that the Bishnoi gang was also involved in that incident.
The Bishnoi gang threatened to kill the actor again after he confessed to the murder of Baba Siddiqui. In a social media post, they said, "We have no enmity with anyone. Helping Dawood Ibrahim's gang and Salman Khan will not get any concessions. Those who are helping keep all the accounts in order.''
After Salman in this list is Baba Siddiqui's son Zeeshan. Bishnoi gang may attack Maharashtra politician and MLA Jeeshan like his father.
Dharmaraj Kashyap and Gurmail Singh, accused in Siddiqui's murder, told the police. Security has already been beefed up in Jishan.
Comedian Munawar Farooqui is also on Bishnoi's hit list. It is known that two miscreants belonging to Lawrence Bishnoid's group once followed Munawar. Those two followed Munawar till Delhi.
The comedian went to attend an event in Delhi in September. The two miscreants had booked the same flight ticket. They rented another room in the hotel where Munawar was staying. But the plan to attack Munawar did not succeed.
Munawar's security was increased as news of the attack spread through intelligence agencies. So they could not attack the comedian like that time. It is also believed that Bishnoi wanted to establish himself as a 'don' by killing Munawar.
This list also includes the name of Shaganpreet Singh, manager of singer Sidhu Mussewala. The Bishnoi gang believes Shaganpreet harbored the killers of Vicky Midukhera, a close associate of the gangster. Vicky was shot dead in August 2021 in Mohali.
Bishnoi's rival and notorious Bambiha gang member Kaushal Chaudhary is also on the list. Kaushal was accused by the Bishnoi gang of supplying arms to the Midukhera killers.
Kaushal's close friend Amit Dagar is also on Bishnoi's hit list. Bishnoi gang claims that Dagar was also involved in Midukhera's murder.
