Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, has maintained a vast criminal network while imprisoned since 2014. His gang has been linked to high-profile crimes, including the recent murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, a close friend of actor Salman Khan. Despite being incarcerated, Bishnoi reportedly controls around 700 operatives, with 300 based in Punjab. His associates, including Goldy Brar and Sampat Nehra, continue to orchestrate criminal activities from abroad and within India, respectively. Bishnoi's rise to infamy began in student politics at Panjab University, leading to numerous criminal charges. His gang's operations have expanded internationally, with allegations of collaboration with Indian agents in Canada, which India has denied.
