Aakhir Tak – In Depth
What is Lawrence Bishnoi’s ‘Suraksha Kavach’?
Lawrence Bishnoi’s name has now entered Mumbai’s underworld discussions. After the 1990s Mumbai blasts, the city’s underworld was run from abroad. However, for the past decade, Bishnoi has been running his gang fearlessly from inside jail. This raises the critical question: What is his ‘suraksha kavach’ (shield)?
After two decades of relative calm, Mumbai is once again feeling the fear of an underworld gang. The Bishnoi gang, responsible for bloodshed in Punjab and Delhi, is now making its presence known in Mumbai, India’s commercial capital. The significant difference between Mumbai in the 90s and today is that Bishnoi hasn’t fled abroad but is operating a well-oiled gang machine from inside India, specifically from jail.
Bishnoi’s influence and the reach of his notorious gang have not only created fear in Mumbai but across India. Even from prison, he continues to operate organized crime, raising concerns about his seemingly invincible position.
Lawrence Bishnoi’s Criminal History
Born in 1993 in Punjab’s Ferozepur district, Bishnoi entered the criminal world during his college days. His notoriety grew rapidly, and he soon expanded his criminal empire throughout North India, with operations in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.
Bishnoi’s gang operates with around 700 shooters across multiple states. Even from inside jail, he maintains communication with his associates and runs his operations. His gang’s activities, including threats and high-profile murders, have solidified his infamy.
