The allegations come at a time when the Bishnoi gang is under law enforcement lens in India for its alleged involvement in the killing of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique.

In the meeting, Ajit Doval acknowledged that Lawrence Bishnoi was capable of orchestrating violence from wherever he was incarcerated, according to a report in The Washington Post.

From controlling a gang in Punjab to eyeing dominance in Bollywood, Lawrence Bishnoi’s dangerous criminal empire continues to expand. His involvement in high-profile murders and extortion has made him India’s most notorious gangster.
